I couldn't do Repatha so I do Praluent. Injectable as well. do have some muscle pain in my right leg however I have issues anyway with my muscles because of a total knee replacement. I don't know if it's due to the replacement or the statin because it seemed to get better when I stopped the Repatha for a bit before starting the Praluent. I also take CoQ10. I'm debating stopping it for a month and see. It seems I can't take much any and did to the Praluent before the surgery with no issues. Of course they tell you it's not the Praluent or statin.

Hi Cindy,

Just a bit off topic. What muscle issues are you having since the TKR? It takes a while for things to settle after a TKR. The rehab takes 2-3 months and it can take a full year for everything to settle into a new normal.

The surgeon also makes a small, vertical cut into the quad muscle right above the patella. This is necessary to release the patella and push it to the side during surgery.

But just changes to gait can have an affect on other parts of the lower body.

I hope you are well.

Joe
