my Mom aches as i mentioned above, if she goes too long without taking ibuprofen (she takes two-200 mg. daily and one 325 mg. of aspirin dailey, later as blood thinner and the ipuprofen for her rheumatoid arthritis --which she does NOT have badly for 3 yrs. now;
she took methroxate ? (spelling ?) 3 yrs ago for only 7 wks. & she just stopped going to her Rheumatologist. She's been on statin, Zocor, 1 mo. for high cholesterol; I wonder if her aching is caused by Statins; she seems to be weaker & tire more easily too, since she's been on Zocor, but it's hard to tell What causes What! Are there certain tests her Doc can do -to see if the Zocor is causing the aching all-over. She only takes the aspirin and ibuprophen ONCE daily in dosage i mentioned above, but if she takes them a few hrs LATER than usual, the aching returns.
Can her rheumatoid arthritis cause tHAT TYPE OF aching, even tho her hands, etc, are not in pain--as they were a few yrs ago.
thanks; Mom, 57 onThanksgiving.
