April 27, 2008 9:21 PM My dad has been taking Crestor for a few...

I have been on Crestor for about 2 months, I noticed this past week my legs feel realy heavy and my ankles and knees really hurt. I was on 10 mg for about a month and when I had my liver enzymes checked they were up a little. I was switched to 1/2 the dose, since you are not supposed to break the tablets I have taken 10 mg every other day. I also noticed I bruize much more easily. I am getting rechecked in a few days so I will mention all of this to the Dr. I think I will be stopping the Crestor no matter what.

Doctors often refuse to recognize statin adverse reactions, because Astra-Zeneca rewards them. Tell your dad to get off Crestor immediately. See http://www.factsmart.org/crestor/crest.htm
