There are a lot of medications out there that causes cramping and all over joint pain. Bill was on some for high blood pressure and the last few months was with me he complained of leg and joint pain a lot. It could be one of the meds. I get to the point that if a med is doing that to me I refuse to take it and ask for a change.

If I got started on how I feel about Drs. handing people meds without telling them the full extent of the side effects or the med companies you'd throw me off of here. I have seen what it can do to people too much and for people to keep taking it without qestioning the Dr. if there is something to replace it just gets to me. Bill was that way for the longest time. When he finally decided I was right about the side effects he would get it changed. By the time he got off of the Noravasc it was too late, it had done too much damage to him.

I drink lots of water, from 60 to 100 ounces a day and the only time I deal with leg pain except the electrical shocks is when I am on my feet way too long or don't drink water.

I'm glad he realized it might be the meds. Maybe now he can get it calmed down.
