Could Joint Pain, Legs Pain And Muscular Pain Be Caused By Tricor?

I have been heaving pain in my legs and joints. It is worse in my right leg. Have been to four specialist and seeing my regular internist. Have had three MRI's, multiple rounds of blood work and been tested for all sorts of serious disease and so far I am being told that they have no clue. I found this website and many entries on individuals who have had various issues including muscle and joint problems and it has been due to tricor 145 mg that they are taking. I have stopped taking my tricor for a few days now and seems to me my pain is going away slowly. How long does it take for tricor to be totally out of my system? I have on Tricor for couple of years now.
