Q: I am 71yrs old and have been taking 3 kinds of tablets for high blood pressure and for cholesterol/diabetes. The tablets are: simvastatin 20mg/amlodipine 10mg tablets taken at nights and atenolol for day time. I am now beginning to feel severe pain on my knees. Do you think these tabs can cause such pain, and should I let my GP know, as I have not told him about it.
A: You should always alert your doctor about a new symptom. You have been taking your blood pressure medicine for some time but your knees just started hurting. Based on this and your age, it is likely your knee pain is from arthritis of aging, not your pills.
