Cholesterol-Lowering Medications Cause Pain

Raise your right hand if you are taking a cholesterol-lower medication like Crestor or Lipitor. Now, raise your left hand if you have chronic pain. Those of you with both hands in the air should listen up. Cholesterol-lowering medications can cause pain and Lipitor is the most prescribed drug in America. Yikes!

How addictive is Tramadol ?

I have been taking Tramadol (and neurontin, flexeril, and vicodin) for quite some time for nerve damage, fibro, and lower back pain.  At my last vist to the pain clinic, the guy working at the front desk pulled me aside and warned me that tramadol was addictive and I should be careful about taking it.  He said he and his wife both took... Read moreChevron
