Leg fatigue symptoms and conditions

1 minor heart attack 5 stents placed over past 6 years thru 4 angio episodes. each hospitalization plavix and statins prescribed each time the side effects started within 2-3 weeks, some times sooner . same crap as most...serious leg fatigue, joint pain, skin is tender to touch. But my FAVORITES are the chest/heart pain that mimic heart attack 'feelings' and the 3AM sweat and anxiety/panic attacks.......3 different statins all the same results symptoms
so intense that i have been admitted 3 times for heart cath, ALL false alarms
S-O-O-O DOC what the hell is going on????? ANSWER: must be reflux, must be stress, must be ANYTHING BUT THE STATINS!!!! each time i quit the statins soon after rehospitalization and each time the symptoms went away......last episode was Friday July 31st. i was really bad....constant chest pain and pressure, legs so fatigued that 1 flight of stairs felt like 10 ...shortness of breath...body aches like you feel when first getting the flu etc. etc you guys all know the crap
they rushed me in to the Cath Lab....nothing wrong...must be stress!! must be reflux!!! bullshit. I quit the Lipitor that day
Today is Tuesday.....I am WAY BETTER each time the same thing, on the statins ...feel like crap, get off the statins and feel almost normal within a week
I will NEVER take a statin again
I am lucky that I have been recovering quickly

hip bursitis- getting shots every 6 weeks for over a year. Shots are extremely painful.I actually cry while getting it. It hurts that badly. Day of shot-throbbing pain in hip, radiates down leg, fatigue headache.
2nd day- facial flushing,headache,fatigue,slightly lessened pain, knees now swollen
3rd - all symptoms slowly start to subside
My last shot was the worst. Left the Docs and felt soo tired, in pain and upset from how badly it hurt. Drove right up a curb.(im ok) Couldn't wait to get home to sleep. I was worthless to 3 kids until next day, weird, its the first time thats happened.

I have been on lipitor about 4 yrs. I am a runner and keep tract of my times. I have been losing about 4% of my speed each year and have recently had a large amount of muscle fatigue. Today a ran a 940 pace and thought I was not going to make it home. Three years ago my average pace was 805. Could the 20mg dosage be causing this problem?

I have been taking Lisinopril for nearly a year and have experienced nearly all the bad side effects I have read about. I have had severe cough that does not respond to cough medications, copious amounts of clear slimy mucous that chokes me frequently. I even choke frequently when I am trying to speak because of the secretions. I have had severe bronchitis 4 times in 6 months. I am tired all the time and my anxiety is much worse. I now have insomnia which I've never had before. During one of the bronchitis rounds I had to take a very strong anitbiotic because it was trying to turn to pneumonia. The antibiotic made me very nauseated so I couldn't take my other meds. After two weeks without the Lisinopril, my symptoms cleared up completely. I resumed the lisinopril when I finished the antibiotic and all of my symptoms returned.

Hi, I'm a 44 year old male, have been on lipitor for four years. My left shoulder hurts whenever I use it, exercise at the gym is a killer. I have what I call leg fatigue, the muscles in the back of my legs feel like I just ran a marathon after making my kids breakfast in the morning. All I want to do is sit and rest. I just started Cq10. If that doesnt work I'm going to go off lipitor for 30 days to see what happens. Very interesting reading in this forum, good luck to all!!!
