Description

Joe Graedon, M.S., and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., write People's Pharmacy.

Q. Rosuvastatin caused extreme muscle and joint pain in my right hip, so I couldn’t walk without limping. The cardiologist advised me to stop and see if the pain resolved. It took about three days for me to quit limping. Given this experience, I will not take another statin.
