Earlier, I was having troubled left knee but now pain is there sometimes in right knee too. I considered it as joint pain alone. But when recently I met a physician and during conversation a query from physician about intake of medicines. I'm taking amlopres (b.p>p and lipicure (8) for cholesterol. Then, my physician asked me if i'm having muscular pain too. Yes, was my reply. He told me cholesterol's medicine has got side effects and it appears more to be related to side effects of lipicure. Mri was carried out and except minor abberations it was ok. These aberrations are age related. I'm 74 years of age now and bit obese. I weigh 80 kg. Kindly advice me about this trouble. I do wear knee cap and do regular exercise including walk. I avoid taking pain killer but in a moth I consume 4 tablets.
