Rosuvastatin And Puffy Ankles, Feet

Updated

Anyone else have this problem while taking Rosuvastatin? My feet swelled after couple of weeks. I'm afraid to keep taking any. I do appreciate any feedback, thanks. I'm 69 yrs old.

I have been on rosuvastatin several years and oddly, the past several weeks my ankles & feet have been swelling, making it painful to walk.
Sure hope someone has answers for us!

I think you must talk with your Doctor.

I have been on it for a few weeks with no problem, then my Dr. bumped up the dosage. My feet and ankles started swelling. I have been totally off for two days, with my doctor’s approval. However, feet and ankles remain swollen. I read it could take weeks for side effects to go awayl
