Bob, have you considered that all the medications that you are taking
have side effects. One that certainly does, and is probably
unnecessary is Lipitor. There is a front page article in Business
Week this week about Lipitor. http://tinyurl.com/2fp4pc It definitely
has many side effects. I took statins for many years, and quit when I
started having strange pains. Then I found it does very little good
for most people, but does great good for the companies that make it.

I have pain in my left ankle when it gets cold. I usually does not
get cold during day at work. In evening sitting around in evening it
gets cold and starts to hurt. I had a circulation test done it was
good as a fact left leg was slightly better than right (go figure).
I have arthritis, I had X-rays they show nothing. I take several
Meds. Advair Diskus for my as ma, terazosin for blood pressure,
triamterene/hctz cap, lipitor for cholesterol,
tramadol hcl tab for arthritis and a 24 antihistamine (and nasal
spray). I also take allergy shots on a regular basis and Venom shots
as I am allergic to bees, wasps and hornets. I do use my nebulizer
at least once a week with CS in it. This ancle pain is annoying,
could it just be from the arthritis? I am open to ideas and
solutions. I have a pair of thermal boot inserts I wear as slippers
around the house and to bed. At night I can get away with just
covering my left leg (with boot insert on) this keeps leg warm and
stops pain. Even Motrin 800 do not stop the anchle from hurting.
SICK LEAVE, Bob
