Zocor and few minutes

I have read a few of your entries and wanted to add my two cents worth. I have been on Zocor for a number of years but for the last few months I have been having problems. Swelling in my face, my feet look like Fred Flintstone feet (little fat sausages) and my back hurts to the point that I can not stand nor walk for more than a few minutes. I feel like an old woman, always looking for a chair and I use the shopping cart as a walker. When I cook, I have to sit as much as possible to do the preparation. I also feel like my throat is swollen somewhat. I know that feeling from an allergy to nuts. I am begining to feel like a nut. I also have trouble with my hands cramping.

I have been trying to read up on this medication because I know that there are people who just can not take statins. Because I am now having problems that I can not seem to find a reason for I am looking in to this medication as the cause. My lower back is constantly in muscle spasm.

Muscle cramps so bad that my right big toe locked and it took me a few minutes to get it to release. I had similar problems with Lipitor. I get leg cramps and muscle cramps in my right forearm.
