Pain in the right side symptoms and conditions

I have not had good experiences with various statin drugs through the years. I was on Zocor a few years ago. I suffered from a tripping gait at times (seemed as if the bottom of the toe area would stick to the sidewalk and I felt as if I was going head over heels and balance issues), so much so that I was referred to a neurologist. My internist poo-pooed my symptoms at the time until I mentioned the formation of cataracts. That did it. Zocor stopped. On to Crestor. Crestor was briefly tolerated until I was walking up four flights of stairs. While on the second flight, my legs literally locked. I could not raise my legs (thigh muscles had tightened so badly, that I had to stop, regroup, and start again. Next course after a brief respite, Lipitor. I am taking between 5 and 10 mg. as tolerated.

I have had issues with Lipitor as well, despite the 'pediatric' dose. I have felt occasional ankle tweaks, and most recently over this past weekend, upon going down a flight of stairs, my left knee buckled. Thank goodness I did not fall, but the weakness was there for the day. I have not taken Lipitor since last Friday night. My cholesterol level (off the statins) had reached a high of 357. As of the last testing (my first after being started on Lipitor), it was 255 - my LDL was 137. I know that if I stop the medication that the numbers will start to rise. This yo-yo effect is very frustrating but my overall well-being is of my utmost concern. Both parents had heart disease. My father passed away at 63 years of age (heart attack, recuperation, then massive heart attack 22 months later), and my mother had angina pectoris, bypass surgery and recurrence of blockages, only to die from multiple myeloma at the age of 89. My newest symptom is pain in the right side, outer portion of the rib cage area. This started two days ago. I had this when I was on Welchol as well.

I got the mirena put on March of 2008. At first it was hard to get use to it, i had breast ache, back pains, headaches.My period came 1 time after the mirena was put in. So for the past 2 weeks i have felt this cramping pain on my right side where my pelvic bone is, right above that. I went to my ob gyn doctor whom performed an ultra sound and said the mirena was in place and nothing to worry about. So the pain is still shooting, so i went to a new ob gyn whom told me she couldn't feel the string. She mention to me she couldn't even see it, and there was a chance that the mirena has moved and that is why i am having pain on my right side. The pain is like a tough cramp, and it runs through my leg. I don't know what to think. I don't do well with pills, or depo, thats why i got the mirena put in.. I don't know what to think. Tuesday I go get another ultrasound to see if the mirena has moved..

I was prescribed levaquin for a skin infection called cellulitis. I was meant to use it for 12 days but i stopped on day 10 because i started feeling a sharp pain in the right side of my chest. I intend to talk to my doctor today about this but I'm sure there won't be any real solutions considering the posts I've been reading on this website. I'm currently at work and just can't concentrate as a result of this chest pain. I can't stretch, I can't swing my right arm, I can't even lift anything heavier than my cellphone with my right arm!!......Pls if there is anyone out there who has a solution to this problem, kindly send me a reply. I feel sorry for everyone on here with this experience with levaquin especially with those who are in a more serious situation than i am. Thanks as I look forward to someone's suggestion.

I'm 55 year old female and was put on Simvastatin 3 months ago with a cholesterol reading of 6.8. I've been experiencing severe lower back pain, a burning pain in the right side of the groin and severe pain in my right hip and leg. It has become so bad that I'm finding walking difficult. I also have severe itching all over, especially on one part of my arm. I can't take anti-histimes because I am alreading taking beta-histine for vertigo. After reading the postings here I am seeing my doctor this week to have my medication changed. Since I live in the Uk cost is not a problem

Hello! This medication gives me pain in the right side,back pain and Horrible taste in my mouth around 1 to 2 hours. I am really tired and just plain don't feel right with this medication. I am almost done with it.But I won't take it again. Oh and it causes sever constipation.

I have been on imitrex and atenolol for a week. It has caused pain in the right side of my neck that runs through my right arm.I'm trying to stop my headaches, not cause more pain. Ithink the medication is unsafe if you have to use a low dose blood preasure medicine with it. Imitrex, and it's counterparts shuold be pulled from the market! It all stems from doctors trying not to prescribe narcotic type medication for headaches.

I've been on paxil and elavil for 18 years. A year and a half ago I had a sharp pain in the right side of my head that turned into horrific head pain/facial spasms. I was put on 900 mgs 3 times daily of neurontin, it was the only thing that stopped the pain. Then I got a night bite, I wear to keep my teeth from grinding, I'm down to 100 mgs once a day. Now I'm taking it every other day and hope eventually to go completely off it. Angie
