I'll have to look this up. I take Crestor...don't know if it's a statin or not. I was on it for maybe 6-9 months before the swelling started. Heck, who knows. My body likes to take things for a while before it decides to become allergic...I know this probably isn't an allergic reaction (thank goodness no hugely hideous hives) but maybe the drug is causing it. Will ask gp ito look into if it could be the cause of the swelling 'cause it's so annoying. Until recently the swelling was firm and solid but now that it's getting bigger it is pitting.
