The pain developed right after I started taking Zocor. I stayed off Zocor for 2 weeks, and the pain did not stop. My doctor thought it wasn't caused by Zocor. He put me on Bextra, which was later taken off the market. I then took Aleve until I developed some blood clots in my lungs and had to get on Coumadin. Then I had to quit taking Aleve, and the pain in my thigh started bothering me again. My dosage of Zocor was doubled 3 weeks ago, and the pain in my thigh has been almost unbearable. What would you recommend?
