Arthritic problems symptoms and conditions

I had headache and all of my joints...especially my fingers, were swollen and very painful...like I was thinking ..what do I have arthritis now??!!! I also was very tired.

About one month after taking Lipitor (10mg), my blood calcium level was elevated. My doctor told me to stop my calcium supplements. I had taken them for years with no problem. Since doing that, my bone density dropped and I have had tendonitis-like pain in thigh and foot and regular arthritic problems and creaking bones. My doctor did not think the blood calcium increase was due to Lipitor (Atorvastatin calcium). She thought it was coincidental. I'm not much impressed by "coincidence."
