I had a slight cough for a while, but don't any more. I have been on 20mg for a couple years. About 6 months ago, both knees started hurting, but thought I was just getting old. (49). Then everything started aching. If I am moving, then I'm fine, but if I sit for any length of time and try to get up, I hurt all over. I don't know if it is this med, but reading all these posts make me think it could be. I just need to get my weight off and get off of this! Also, I got to this site because I started having a sharp, fast pain just below my left ribcage. 2 yesterday, but about 10-15 today. Good thing it only lasts about a second, because it is bad. So-could this be from this drug, as well?

I have been off Lisinopril since 7/08 and I still get that awful left rib cage pain. It is debilitating pain almost like shingles. I have not found a diagnosis yet.

I have been fighting this pain in under my left ribs for 8 months. It is on the inside and the ribs are not tender. After scans with contrast and X-rays nothing shows up with nothing..Finally the doctor put me on lyrica 50 mg. twice a day. I take one at night and one in the day..I can not work on the day pill, so I only take one at night, but after one wonderful week the pain has came back...I don't know if it was the shingles or if the lyrica was covering up something...Any suggestions..

Did you get a shingles test? My brother and Grandfather has had shingles and it was always visible. This is not, right? The other thing in my research made me think of a hernia. I went to the 1/2 dose until I see my doctor, but the pain has not come back.
Go to another doctor if you get no answers. I hope the best for you.
