Rosuvastatin ? side effects

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have been on statins for nearly 20 years with no side effects and on Rosuvastatin for about 5 years. In the last 2-3 months have been experiencing aching arms. Is this a side effect or what? any ideas welcome please.

    probably. discuss with your doctor in case there's a different reason for the aching arms such as damaged bicep tendons etc.
