Indeed, the 2 people I know who were put on statins by the Doc reckoned they caused more problems than they solved, they both stopped taking them and felt loads better.Statins can have a lot to answer for. Mate was put on them and he started slowing down generally, even to the extent of dragging his feet. Stopped taking them and returned to his 'normal' self in short order.
To be fair i spoke to Sister today about my wifes self testing dose for warfarin and she confirmed the most likely was RA . Obviously she said i needed to see a doctor etc but i knew that before i posted or asked her advice.No point coming on here expected a diagnosis, even if there were doctors it's not really the place or the way for diagnosis.
See a doctor if you are worried.
If it makes you feel any better I can't remember a day without joint/muscle pain or a day having not to do exercises to relieve pain long term - part and parcel of getting older (ok I'm a fair bit more advance than I should be for my age).
I'm in my mid 40's, see specialists 3-4 times a year. See physio for legs or arms every month. Been like that for a couple of years. I'm classed as fit, correct weight and healthy (other than these problems).
