What Causes Severe Pain In The Shoulders, Wrist And Hips?

I was taking Lipitor in june of this year for about a month. I started experiencing severe pain in shoulders, wrist, hands and hips. My Doctor said right away she thought it was the Lipitor so i stopped taking it. I am still having all the same pain and it is ver severe and it s hard to do anything. My Doctor has run many blood and imaging test and can find nothing to explain it. What kind of Doctor specialist should I see about this because I need help.

Rheumatologist 's  Response
Hi,

How old are you? Is your inflammatory markers in your blood normal?

People older than 60 can develop PMR; a vascular condition causing pain in shoulder region and pelvic region. It has to be treated with steroids.

Please see a Rheumatologist for this and get further evaluation and treatment done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priya Sadanandan
