What Treatment Is Suggested For Stiffness In Knees And Shoulders?
I have bee taking Crestor for some time, I have recently noticed that I have been having stiffness in my knees, the shoulders, ( that have had torn cartliage since taking the Crestor ) and the knees fell the same way the shoulders did. Very stiff and achy. Is there any research that is linked to Crestor and torn cartliage and stiff joints?
yes, muscle stiffness and myalgia are reported side effects for taking creator. it is advised to stop the drug and better go for a diet,exercise program to manage your cholesterol level. getting enough omega3from olive oil and raw nuts is magically helpful .. physiotherapy and massage are good to help after you stop it and proceed with another prescription and diet.
