Welcome @gzr7, My primary care doc wanted me to go on statins 5 or 6 years ago (81 now) but I already have neuropathy in my feet (numbness, no pain) and didn't want to make it any worse. After a few lengthy discussions with her I decided to work on lowering my cholesterol numbers by diet and lifestyle changes.

There are quite a few discussions and comments on statin alternatives. I think there also maybe newer non-statin cholesterol drugs on the market but I'm not sure. It is important to discuss with your doctor and come up with a plan. Here's a link to the search results for discussions and comments by members on statin alternatives - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=statin+alternatives+.

It's great to hear you are active and healthy and probably already doing most of these suggestions from Mayo Clinic but it might be helpful for a checklist.
