3 | high cholesterol (220) | I have been training for half marathons and when I started taking the medication I started experiencing muscle tiredness when running. I stopped taking for a couple of weeks and then started up again and the muscle tiredness was more bearable. Something that also happened that I thought was unrelated was left shoulder pain. The doctor diagnosed it as a pinching of the tendons and bursa sac (impingement) and later changed the diagnosis to frozen shoulder. I have been seeing the physical therapist for 3mo and two cortisone shots and my shoulder has only gotten worse. | I will be seeing my doctor tomorrow and will ask about a link | M | 54 | 8 months 40 mg 1X D | 8/17/2010 | |
3 | high cholesterol (220) | The second cortisone shot did not help either and in fact was more painful. I am finding that my muscles seem to get tired more quickly and that they don't recover as completely either. | M | 54 | 8 months 40 mg 1X D | 8/20/2010 |
