I have severe numbness and tingling in fingers to the point of problems sleeping due to the discomfort. Also have pain and popping in both thumbs only. I heard from a friend that her brother had same symptoms with Pravachol, which is what I take. She said his doctor diagnosed osteoarthritis and thought it might be connected to Pravachol use. Anyone else know any connection or have similar symptom?
It took about 14 days for the side effects to begin, they included abdominal pain, chest pain, generally feeling like I was coming down with the flu, and muscle aches.
