Elbow area symptoms and conditions

Thought the tingling and severe burning was from Yoder's Good Health Receipe. But I've had all these herbs previously. Then researched side effects from Doxyclycline. Wow! I started with severe tingling on hands, which turned to burning. Spread to face, elbow area, knees and ankles. Is this normal? I've been miserable for 2 day. Minor sun exposure. Gees!

I am 36 years old and have been on Lipitor 40 for about 5 years. Over time, I have noticed it very difficult to concentrate and focus. I am always dragging, and my shoulders, neck and legs always ache. I guess I chalked most of it up to getting old. But recently, I started to get burining, shooting pains in my left elbow area (doctor says tennis elbow). After doing a little research - I was shocked to find that almost every symptom that I have- can be related back to Lipitor. I stopped taking it for a few weeks, and I started to feel a little better. I stopped because I couldn't afford it. Once I was able to refill my prescription- the same issues started again. I think that I am going to stop it for good, and document changes in my body. Hopefully for the better

I have been on Lisinopril for a year now, and I think I have been experiencing some of the same things others have written about here. I am on 40mg dose and it idoes a mediocre job at controlling my blood pressure.

When I lay down, which is alot because I think I am getting fatigue from the Lisinopril, my heart is pounding so hard in my chest...it keeps me from resting peacefully. When I am standing or sitting I rarely ever notice it. Like I wrote I think it causes fatigue. I would like to know what kind of rash anyone has developed. I have one that comes and goes on the inside crease of my right elbow area. I think it does does a fibromyalgia, as well.

I am glad I am not the only one....I am glad I found this site and know that other people are experiencing similiar things. I am NOT crazy afterall.

Was on ZOCOR 20mg for about 2 years and suffered from leg cramps and malaise... lost interest in sex, etc. Dr. increased dosage to 40mg and noticed bad rash on forehead and scalp area that came and went unexplainably. Skin disease speacialist called it "acute dandruff". Changed to LIPITOR and head rash disappeared but left red and patchy areas where rash would normally have been. After 2 weeks on 10mg LIPITOR, noticed loss of strength in legs, pain in muscle from armpit to elbow area.. thought it was heart-related and scared me... pain became fairly constant... Also, had "white-outs" for minutes at a time while walking or excercising, feelings of irritability and depression. I am quitting taking ZOCOR and LIPITOR, plus, any similar drugs and will go as "natural" as I can to improve my Triglyceride and Cholestorol levels. The resultant side effects of these two drugs are more ominous than their benefits. It scares me that Doctors do not consider the drugs as a cause of your symptoms when you describe problems to them.. there seems to be no acknowledged connection to the drugs but yet I read on forums like this one similar effects that I experienced. People to people will always be the best source of information, I suppose. I would suggest to anyone taking Lipitor or Zocor and experiencing muscle pain, joint pain, malaise, depression, "white-outs", loss of memory, leg cramps, unusual headaches, any form of insomnia and possibly darkening of urine or yellowing of skin, eyes, etc., to quit taking these drugs immediately and tell your doctor about what you are experiencing. It could possibly save your life.

Hello,

For pneumonia I was rx'd erythromycin, became very sick so rx'd Levaquin. Pharmacy printout listed some side effects. I saw "torn ligaments" listed and was told it was a very rare side effect.

I started Levaquin January 30th. On February 3rd I developed pain in my right elbow area then even worse in my left shoulder, then in collarbone and surrounding area. Since then these symptoms have shown up in left elbow, right shoulder, calves of legs, hands, my right bicep is killing me, along with severe headache and overall weakness.

I am barely able to dress and undress or from this pain. Typing this with one finger right hand.

I have no transportation w/o spouse, finally called doctor on Friday, Feb. 14th and have appt Tuesday, Feb, 18th.

Her dx will be posted if possible.

I have fibromyalgia, chronic myofascial pain, chronic fatigue so I've certainly had no energy to injury myself. I am concerned this is a result of taking Levaquin.

Also since I have the above dx at first I thought it was just more pain, however, I am now positive that this is unrelated.
