"I was on pravastatin 40 mg 2 years ago (40 mg). I experienced extreme pain on the inward side of my right knee that kept getting worse. Within a month or two, my left knee began hurting in the same spot. Then I had similar severe pain in my left ankle. My right knee was so bad I could not walk on it. The doctor took x-rays. The diagnosis was tendinitis. By the end of summer, I was a basket case, and no amount of Advil gave me any relief. It hurt so bad that when I moved my knees when I was sleeping, it would wake me up. I got to checking all my heart medications and suspected the pravastatin. I cut it out completely for 1 week. I have cut my dose now to 20 mg and still have occasional bouts of tendinitis."
