For High Blood Pressure "I've been taking amlodipine/benazepril for over six months, and I experience knee pain, swelling of feet, and hands daily. Before this medicine, I used to walk 4 miles per day. I can barely walk two miles due to the pain in my knees. Although it has reduced my blood pressure, I cannot handle the side effects."

Amlodipine / benazepril for High Blood Pressure "I have been on Lotrel for three years. I never had knee problems but never connected the medicine with the symptoms until I started searching for side effects by others. I spoke with my doctor and he has recommended lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide. See if the problem with knees will improve. Because knee pain is terrible!"

Amlodipine / benazepril for High Blood Pressure "I have developed severe swelling in my fingers. It is constant, causing numbness in the fingertips and pain in the joints - mostly in the middle of the night. I love having my blood pressure lowered, though."
