Doc has no answer for muscle pain and loss of strength
I am a 61 year old male in relatively good health. I take Atenolol, (4 years) and now Lotrel for a year. I have lost muscle strength and have chronic pain in my arms, neck
even at rest. This only began after taking Lotrel. I have asked my doctor about this because I had severe muscle pain on Lipitor. He says neither of these drugs will cause muscle pain or weakness. Recently I had a physical and my liver enzymes and sugar were both high. He asked me when I started drinking. I do not drink because I have a job that requires zero tolerance for alcohol or drugs. I have had severe pain in the soles of my feet for over a year that he cannot explain also. I have had bloodwork done since the physical and all readings were normal. Any suggestions? The muscle and feet pain gets so bad that I have trouble sleeping without taking Advil or some other pain meds before bed.
