I have been sick for about 8 MO with my feet, I been to many doctor’s

all have different opinion I finally found two doctors that seems to think It maybe

From a cholesterol medicine called CRESTOR. They think it may have destroyed

the ligaments and muscle tendon around my Ankles rhabdomyolysis, severe muscle deterioration

There so tender and fragile. they can erupt anytime. Im so worried..

I have been on Crestor for several months, and over the last couple of months I have had increased fatigue, feelings of unwellness, headaches, pain in my muscles, and in the strangest places, ie my toes. Cramping of my hands, legs, feet and toes. I feel awful and have taken myself off the Crestor, and will be attending my physician within 24 hrs. I suffered from Lupus for many years, and this isn’t the same pain or malaise.

I feel really really unwell and very very tired. Thank you for sharing and informing, I would not have corrolated the two, Crestor and feeling unwell.
