80 mg prescribed over 18mth period - shoulder pain began after one year - acute pain at night', diminishing rotational capability during the day. Second shoulder pain followed soon after with same symptoms. Feels as if the joint is becoming unstable and the moving skeletal components rubbing together and jarring.(clicks,clonks felt & heard) GP immediately took me off them and arranged physio. After two weeks without simvastatin there is no change/ relief in symptoms
Rfreezy - WOW! I feel so silly after reading all of your posts. I've been taking 20mg of Simvastatin for about 3 years and have been going to the chiropractor ever since. I've learned to deal with te shoulder, back and neck pain. Dr. says it's just stress. Speaking of stress, the depression and anxiety has been going on for that long too. I also take Lisinopril and Sigulair, both of them have a lot of mentions here about causing depression and fatigue. My body needs a reset! I'm currently on a quest to find more natural remedies to high cholesterol, high blood pressure and allergies without these drugs. I'm a 35 year old male, I eat healthy foods, don't smoke and exercise regularly. These drugs are the only foreign things I put in my body and I agree with you all that there is something very wrong with these drugs.
Vrm_vaddadi - Statins are the order of the day. Thetruth about their benefits holds good till it is destabilised by furthur research like any other scientific truth in the interrugnum we have logical rational option but to follow it as you might never know whether you are loosing the benefits in this one short life given to you. So gowith a good doctor as your better instincts guide, give him complete information and follow his advise
Lmyatt - If you have not already found Dr. Duane Graveline's information about the statins and their side effects, please look them up. Simvastatin caused memory loss, depression, anger, hostility, severe nasal congestion, and other side effects in myself. Once I started looking for information on statin side effects, Dr. Graveline's information was very helpful. Also, Dr. Beatrice Golomb at the University of California at San Diego is heading up a study on the statin side effects. You can also self-report your side effects to the FDA so that the numbers are more in line with what we actually experience since our doctors don't like to report our side effects, but often pooh-pooh them as being only in our heads or being due to getting older.
