Statin Side-effects: Muscle pain and weakness

That is a common side effect. Both my husband and I stopped taking statins and the pain went away. Doctors always act like this is something new or unheard of. I wish our clinic had a PharmD to talk to about prescriptions. Good luck.

how long did it take for the pain to go away? approx?
I had ALL of the side effects and was pretty miserable. Stopped my stain and like magic I had more energy and no aching joint pain or discomfort. The leathery feet pads and calf aching and stiffness is another story 🙁 Trying to find a doctor who can talk about these, but it is a big challenge. I don't understand why it came back after stopping my statin. So weird.

So if I may ask did your doctor gave you any other alternative to protect you from heart issues?
