Taking Crestor For Several Years, Still Cholesterol At Borderline, Experiencing Muscle Pain In Both Hamstrings.

My husband has been taking Crestor for several years now, even though his cholesterol at that time was borderline, and for the past few months has been experiencing muscle pain in both hamstrings. He exercises regularly (3-4 days a week) and eats a sensible diet . He does not have high blood pressure . Can he quit taking the Crestor cold turkey ? He has his annual physical next month and would like to know what his cholesterol is without the drugs.. e-mail address is YYYY@YYYY

Hi, Your husband is taking crestor since long, so there is no point in searching and pointing it for muscle pains. He might be having anemia, or defeciency of vit D, or calcium which might be causing the pains. or may be secondary to the arthritis. Thank you.
