I saw my PCP this afternoon and she doesn't know what to think about my thighs. She said she had not seen a reaction like this to Zocor. She said that it may be related to the combination of Zocor with Avonex or the needle going into the muscle but she did not know for sure and didn't want to try to guess what was wrong.

She told me to stay off the Zocor and we would figure out what to do about my high cholesterol when I return in 3 months for my physical. She gave me a prescription for Lortab to help with the pain and told me to call her if I needed her.

She said she thought it best to let my Neuro do what testing she thought was necessary regarding my thigh problem. My Neuro will be settled in her new office the middle of Sept. and I am supposed to call her and set up an appointment.

So, I still don't know what is going on with my thighs. They are still swollen and not so good lately since I have been active the last few days. If I do nothing, they feel better but if I am active, the swelling and nerve pain get worse. I at least have some pain pills to help with the pain.
