I honestly don't know where the science is on statins and neuropathy, but my idiopathic neuropathy is already bad enough that I declined to take them when suggested by either a cardiologist or my primary care physician. The cardiologist tried so hard to scare me. You frankly cannot scare me with a potential heart attack at the pain levels I endure. I won't risk adding fuel to an already raging fire. Their noise at least quieted down when I passed my PET stress test with zero blood flow restrictions.
