tinkerbella Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Don't you hate it when the weekend starts and symptoms start????? My left leg is swelling and hurts bad. Both legs have swollen and could be my CCB. I saw my PC last week and she thought maybe my fish oil that I take in place of a statin due to my muscle wasting caught from Lipitor years ago. I saw the cardio the next day and said I read that fish oil is nature's natural statin and could it be cause muscle damage. He said no, I was worried as my sed rate is 53 . I will call the doctor if the leg is worse in the morning. Just wondered if anyone ever gets one leg (left) this is my weak side of the body, that swells and hurts???? I know the answer, call the doctor. I'll elevate it and the fluid will go to my belly. Also, if it is my CCB like it was a few weeks ago, when I stop that I get chest pain with exertion so I had to go back on. Grrrrr. I'm feeling really Ouchy ~Bellamia ~ ; O" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerbella Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 http://www.side-effe...tendonitis.htmlToday I can barely walk, I will go to the the hospital in the morning. I have had Achilles tendonitis for monthsI have had damage from levequin, lipitor they made me look like I had run a Marathon years ago.If you go to the bottom they talk about Mitochondrial Damage. Very interesting and while youmay not know you have a problem, these meds may trigger a dormant problem. I'm seeing a link here.Will have to forward this info to my mito neuro.Bellamia ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tearose Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Have you tried wearing some compression?I suppose you ruled out a bite of some kind already...I hope you don't have lymphedema.As you said, if it doesn't resolve, go to the doctor.

Brye Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 So sorry!! Hope you get it figured out. Leg swelling is the worst. Mine is in good control right now but I'm having prego flashbacks right now. High fashion compression hose was my first thought too! I have a love/hate relationship with those for sure!! I'll be thinking of you! Keep us posted!Brye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
