Localized symptoms and conditions

I am John-in-Napa who wrote in on Sept. 25 about the problems I was having with Lipitor. I took myself off the drug and saw my doctor on Oct. 8th. I no longer have any of the side effects I described, no rib pain, neck, shoulder pain, lig cramps. foot pain etc. I feel like a new man again. My doctor was totally fine with my decision and even said her mother-in-law was on it and had severe pain in localized areas that really affected her badly. She also said others have complained about similar symptoms and refused to take the drug. Honestly, I haven't felt this good in a couple of years-Hope this helps others to take control of what they are told to put into their bodies and get back to feeling human again-Thnks for listening !!

I am reading these posts and see a horrible pattern of doctors not informing their patients of the possible side effects of this product. I, too, was informed by my doctor that the side effects we minimal. HA! The mood swings are brutal and the night sweats/hot flashes are almost hourly! I've also had localized chest pain beyond my left breast (like a muscle pull) since about a week after receiving the shot. I will be having an endometrial ablation in 2 weeks and this dose of Lupron will have worn off by the beginning of December and I can't wait!

Is anyone having chronic shortness of breath with their Mirena? I have been tested for everything under the sun, and all tests have come back negative. I was even checked out for cancer! I am 22 years old, previously very healthy. I have no other symptoms, except the spotting and longer periods.

Frustrated,

43 yr old male. Started Lipitor about 4 months ago (20mg) and about a week later stated having a dull "tooth ache" type of tailbone pain. Kind of wrote it off until last week as the pain just kept creeping up a notch about every 2 weeks until I finally started doing some research. I have had very localized pain in ONE should in the rotator cuff region and have stopped lipitor and will update in a couple weeks.

I took (1) Levaquin (500mg) tab for a severe kidney infection at about 7:00 at night, at about 8:00 I started to have terrible, horrible pains near my vaginal area and my anal area. To describe the pain it felt like i was in active labor. The pains came like spazums and lasted for about 2-5 mins localized in that area. Also at 8:00 this morning i felt like i was in an all day workout and/or hung-over. I will not be taking another pill and will call my doctor to be prescribed another antibotic. I am so glad that i am not the only person with these side effects, at least i know that it not just a one person thing.

I have been taking Zocor and Cozaar and Verapmil. But I think since Zocor (only 10ml) my whole body aches all the time,. sometimes I get these localized tooth ache like pain. My right hip always hurt now my right elbow does. I have a hard time when I first get up, but the worst part is my whole body, flesh and all feels traumatized. Same sensetaion you feel when you have hurt one part of your body aand all of your body feels the pain. THe other effect I experience is on the week ends whenI'm out and about, shopping or what ever, I run out of energey sometime in the afternoon; my whole body feels like lead. What helps is drinking water at that moment and I feel some whaaaat better. Have to talk to my doctor yet.
