I'm 20 years old, and I was recently
diagnosed with high blood pressure and
high cholesterol. I'm not overweight, I
eat well, and I'm relatively physically
active, but there's some family history of
this sort of thing. I've been on
Lisinopril since November.
Around December, I started getting really
bad pains in my legs and arms. The ones in
my arms were sudden and disappeared
quickly, but the ones in my legs were
lingering. When I would stand up after a
while of sitting, I would feel a pain
either on the back of my calf right below
my knee in the left leg (this happened
several times) or in the middle of the
front of my right thigh. The pain is very
achy, and it feels like there is a giant
rock inside my leg. The ones that appeared
on my calves were always accompanied by a
large, rock-hard bruise, whereas the ones
on my thigh were unseen, but still firm.
Today, I started feeling a pain in my
thigh again, and it has gotten gradually
worse as the day has progressed. Walking
is uncomfortable, and touching it makes it
hurt more.
I tried WebMD, but everything was pretty
vague, and there were about 25
possibilities. What is this, does this
have anything to do with my blood
pressure, and is it dangerous?

How is the pain on your thigh spreading?
Do they feel like muscle cramps?
Have you been tested for your thyroid
gland function?

It started in one small spot, then spread
out getting circularly larger until it was
pretty much my whole thigh. They feel a
little like muscle cramps, but I haven't
done any sort of exercise lately that
would have caused ones that hurt that
much.
And no, I haven't. Should I?

Do you feel general body aches and pains?
Have you experienced back or jaw pain,
too?
Did you get the symptoms for the first
time after starting the usage of
Lisinopril?
