Crestor and managing side effects

I too started Rosuvastatin, or Coreg, about 1.5 weeks ago, only 5 mg. since I'm sensitive to drugs. I started getting achy legs at about 1 week. Initially I figured it's due to my PT exercises I'm doing for a hamstring injury, but it's both legs all the way up & down in the muscles, especially upon rising from sitting. I think I'll do what Janell suggested & notify my cardiac doc. Adjusting the dose to not every day may be an option. I'd tried 10 mg of Lipitor before & it was much worse pain, had to go off. I do need to get those LDL numbers down.

Thanks, Patty

@jardinera25 Oh, I feel your pain!

I would love to stay tuned to your journey. Will you come back and provide updates on your testing, how you’re doing?
