I too took statins for cholesterol for over 15 years and have been dealing with neuropathy for 7 years. I agree with your theory. I got my doctor to switch my medication to Zetia and now Repatha. It is a new change so I don't know yet if neuropathy will improve.
My Neuropathy started with leg aches (thigh to calf something like sciatica nerve pain) waking me up from my nap. Now my feet (actually my ankles) wake me up as they feel frozen - sometimes the heals feel like they are burning up. The funny thing is it mostly occurs when I am laying down and almost nothing when I am walking or standing up) Dr gave me Gabapentin after 2 years of complaining and first gave me Narco 10mg which I was taking when it was just leg pain. Narco stills works best and no real side affects. Anyone have my similar symptoms?
Welcome @gc45, Thanks for sharing what has helped you. I too have had that statin discussion with my primary care doctors over the years and chose to work on healthier eating and more exercise to improve my cholesterol numbers. I posted my neuropathy journey in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.
