I was taking the same pain meds you have and the results were similar. RA was considered as a "cause" of my troubles but before I got to the rhumetologist I went to my wife's chiropractor. He poked around, asked a few questions, and in 15 minutes had a diagnosis. The statins can cause "statin induced rhabdomyolysis" which they claim is "rare" but he says otherwise! Anyhow, I seem to be on the mend after taking his advice and I am thankful. If you take them I would suggest discussing it with a practitioner OTHER than an MD. ALL they want to do is push a pill! If you are interested contact me out of the group and I can explain more. Mark in Texas On 2/19/2012 9:12 AM, Yahoo!

Interestingly , the oxycodone/acetimetaphine tabs , @ 325 Mg each , don't hardly touch the pain but they *do* relax me a bit so I can get to sleep , of course when I move during sleep the resulting jolt of pain hits me like a baseball bat . I hate this , I can't stand up right anymore dammit . Tom & I walked a junkyard a little bit to - day , usually it loosens me up after a bit but it didn't to - day and I'm dying here . The Dr. says I can take two tabs at a time , screw that . I'd not touch this crap if I didn't have to .
