Yep, that's where I had mine..... I found that statin caused me serious problems in the big arm muscles, I could barely move my upper arms at one point.
Go back to the doc and ask for a different statin, I've been on several until I found one which suited me.
I had to have physio to start to get the full movement back in my upper arms, that was about four years ago. It took a good year to get back to normal, so please don't live with it, do something about it.
I've been through the list, sibs - I'm on Pravastatin these days, with no ill effects. Apparently the side effect is more often pain in the big leg muscles, but arms are not uncommon - and the pain was seriously bad and inhibiting.
Oo sqad, I looked back at what you said to me 4 years ago..... I too thought I'd strained a muscle, until I realised that it was both arms, all the time.
boxy.......indeed.......I was going to add something else, but decided not to as i got a post "pulled" yesterday for upsetting some poor sensitive soul on that very topic..........women's underwear....;-)
Just typed a long answer and laptop died.
Boxy, thank you. I'm going to take a week off rosuvastatin, continue with irbesartan and Glucophage. I'll see if it helps but then, at least, I'll be able to ask for all 3 at the same time.
I was put on statins many years ago when I had a panic combined with white coat syndrome and, believe me, I was terrified of her!
