I have had lymph nodes removed in conjunction with breast cancer surgery, and am therefore susceptible to lymphedema. However I never had a trace of it in the 7 years since my surgery until I started taking Crestor. The lymphedema appeared within days. My doctor insists it is unrelated, but I am not convinced. I took the Crestor for 5 weeks, and stopped 1 week ago. So far I have not seen much change in the lymphedema symptoms, but am hoping for improvement. If anyone has a similar situation, or advice, it would be appreciated.
