Heavy legs symptoms and conditions

Leg pain, heavy legs, bloating, gas, back pain, headache, arm, wrist and hand pain.

I have been taking Singulair for 5 weeks and stopped after developing high blood pressure, numbness and tingling all over my body, flushing, anxiety, memory loss/difficulty concentrating, skin burning sensations, fatigue, "heavy legs" feeling, heart palpitations. I have been off of this drug for 3 days. I still have the side effects and hope that they will go away ASAP. I am also a very well-controlled 28 year old diabetic and when I had neuropathy-like tingling sensations in my extremities (from Singulair) I became worried and angry. I am seeing a doctor tomorrow for a full exam. If this drug has caused me permanent nerve damage I intend on filing a lawsuit against the drug company.

I am 42 years old and been taking crestor 10 mg for about 18 months to 2 years.. Recently been feeling tired with heavy legs.. told my doctor did a blood test everything was normal.. doctor advised to get off crestor its been 3 week and still feeling tired in legs.. am pretty active, workout , lift weights.. walk and play golf lately 18 holes carrying bag are becoming difficult.. will stay off crestor for a while and see if leg pain and tiredness goes away.. Anyone experienced similar systems... What did you do... My cholesterol on crestor had dropped to 160.. last test while on crestor was 238 hdl 133 and ldl 64.... not sure what to do but till i don't feel normal do not plan to take crestor as that is the only medication was taking....

Im a 57yr old female, when i was given Lisinopril 5mg 6months ago my doctor said it was the cleanest HBPT, around so i started taking it, i was on medication for cholesterol about 6 different ones, which made my life hell, so BP went up hence this medication, the mood swings, have been terrible, happy one day the next i hate everyone who comes into view even my husband said he cannot take this verbal abuse i send his way, i have felt so depressed, in the last couple of days i have just felt like ending it all, cant sleep, crying, all the time, headaches, coughing, heavy legs, noise in my ears, swelling of legs and fingers, i have got to find an alternative remedy, my life is worth more than feeling like this, im back to see the doctor tomorrow as i cannot cope any more, neither can my family

Found this site and read the postings for the first time today. I cried when I read the first posting because it was as though I had written it myself. I have experienced so many of the negative side effects such as, depression, apathy, loss of sex drive, crying almost every day, anger for no reason, pain, and more. I am 38 years old and have been using the ring for almost 2 years. I took it out today as soon as I finished reading other's experiences. I am looking forward to being my "old" self soon, and I know my husband and children are too.
Maybe the side effects are worse for women in their 30's and 40's versus 20's. Not everyone posted their age but I was curious regarding this possibility.

This note is regarding some measures for healing and pain relief. I have been in pain due to taking Levaquin three months ago. My pain is widespread. I have peripheral neuropathy. My whole body is tender and sensitive. All of my joints ache. It's hard to walk or sit for long. My pain is still disabling but it has improved. I thought that I would share with whoever may be interested what has helped my pain the most. I see a chiropractor every week and I also see a Chinese doctor every week. The Chinese doctor does therapeutic massage (deep tissue) and he also does acupuncture weekly. The acupuncture doesn't hurt as much as you might think. Other things that I've found that are helpful are warm Epsom salt baths and any topical cream that warms the area such as zostrix. Creams for muscle soreness may work also. I try not to take pain medication because it can just lead to other problems . If I have to take something I take either excedrin or Tylenol. NOT ibuprofen. Also, the body can't heal as quickly if it is being bombarded with offending agents. Therefore I have eliminated the following: Sodas (regular and diet), nutrisweet, msg (read the label), bleached flour, caffeine and many other things. I try to avoid sugar and I use stevia as much as possible. I have done a lot of research regarding nutrition since this happened to me. What I have come to realize is that good foods are like medicine. I have to supply my body with the proper nutrients and it will heal itself. Lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, lean meat (I don't eat red meat). I avoid fast food and processed foods. The rule of thumb is that if nature made it it's good for you. If man made it...read the label very carefully. I hope that this info will be helpful to some of you. My prayers are with you all.

Hi!
I have ulcerative Colitis. I had a bad flare up since Thanksgiving 07.I have been on Prednisone since the beginning of Dec.07. The first 3 days it was giving to me by IV every 6 hrs.I was hospitalized due to tremendous blood lost. After this my doctor put me on 60 MG a day. 6 pills of Asacol and I also was on ennama with Cortisone which totally almost killed me. The side effects were sooooooooooooo bad,let say I had them all.Right now I'm dealing with the side effects of the evil Pill " Prednisone" Moon face and this awful bloating in my upper abdomen, tiredness, no energies, heavy legs. It makes it really hard for me to get out & around.I hope my doctor will get me off this Prednisone. Not only messes it up your normal living no it also makes you look like a ugly bulldog! I hate it!

I am a 57 year old female. I have been on lipitor for less than 2 months. Woke up with "charlie-horse" cramps in right calf. This happened at least five times last night. Today I have a constant pain in my calf. Called the pharmisist who told me to stop taking the drug and call my doctor. I will not take this again. I developed heavy legs while on zocor so I had to go off it also. I am also very tired by the afternoon and can barely keep my eyes open. I will have to find something else to lower my cholestol.
