Family hx of high cholesterol - suddenly mine spiked so they put me on Crestor. I kept saying on knee hurt - MRI - nothing. My bones felt as if they were on fire after the slightest bit of exercise.

I suffered acute liver failure and severe muscle pain in my legs requiring hospitalization after 3 months on Crestor. It took several months for the muscle pain to diminish. Crestor is hazardous to your health.

Been on crestor for 2 months and now been to ER once and urgent care with symptoms I had no idea was crestor related. Pain in legs, nausea all the time, strange dreams memory problems. I am also on blood thinners and this drug has major interaction with warafin. Today I am going off this drug after reading all of the reviews cant believe the dr put me on this.

As soon as I stopped taking Lipitor, worked with a massage therapist and chiropractor, all the muscle problems went aw ...
