Pain In Arms, Cant Rotate Shoulders. Taking Rosuvastatin. Side Effect Of Medication?

I INCREASED MY DOSE OF ROSUVASTATIN FROM 5MG TO 10 10 MG 4MONTHS BACK. LIPID PROFILE IS NOW ABSOLUTELY NORMAL. HOW EVER, I AM EXPEROENCING PAIN IN THE UPPER ARM & SHOULDER SINCE LAST 3 MONTHS & THIS IS LIMITING MY ABILITY TO RAISW & ROTATE THE SHOUDERS BECAUSE OF PAIN. I AM NOT ABLE TO SLEEP ON MY LEFT SHOULDER FOR NOT MORE THAN 5 MINUTES. IS THIS A SIDE EFFECT OF ROSUVASTATIN SINCE IT IS KNOWN TO CAUSE MUSCLE & JOINT PAIN?

What about your blood sugar levels? You seem to be suffering from frozen shoulder. The treatment is control of blood sugar and good physiotherapy. Even for myalgia you need to take physiotherapy.
