I've just got back from a trip to the UK to see my dad, who has been in horrendous pain thanks to leg ulcers. He also has an irregular heartbeat & I'm wondering now, if the medication he takes for that hasn't added to the pain in his legs?Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546956519928584352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826278365455712021.post-54554462771528302832012-07-03T15:30:34.187+01:002012-07-03T15:30:34.187+01:00Thank-you Sam.Thank-you Sam.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346682505354790114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826278365455712021.post-38537895566375573752012-07-02T21:40:26.456+01:002012-07-02T21:40:26.456+01:00John, don't give up, try and get your dad anot...John, don't give up, try and get your dad another med. that he can tolerate with out the side effects. Statin causes severe pains in the muscles and joints and destroy the liver. I can't take those period! Beta blockers can be tolerated by a large percentage but a few of us can't, but there are other meds. we can take without any problem.

I know how Gordon must be feeling, I have an irregular heartbeat now and the doc says if I leave off the beta blockers I will feel even worse, so tell Gordon to stick with it for now.<br /><br />Give your dad my regards and tell him I hope to see him at the Hollybush soon. Even the trip to the pub is a trial!<br /><br />I have lost interest in the garden, computing, going out, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826278365455712021.post-15060979143031772562012-07-02T17:09:57.110+01:002012-07-02T17:09:57.110+01:00Thank-you, Pat. xThank-you, Pat. xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346682505354790114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826278365455712021.post-5008044573340645232012-07-02T16:11:38.483+01:002012-07-02T16:11:38.483+01:00John I feel for you.

MTL also has the beta blockers plus all the drugs he had for the cancer which caused side effects in his hands and feet which started him on more drugs which seem to have no positive effect.<br />I always prefer the minimum of drugs but can't persuade him so I just have to trust he knows what is best for him, Fingers crossed dear.xPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826278365455712021.post-34358440804225109332012-07-01T16:01:11.999+01:002012-07-01T16:01:11.999+01:00Thanks, both.
