If you are getting muscle and joint pain from statins, tell your doctor immediately. You may not be able to tolerate that particular statin or possibly, any statin. And without a cardio's advice, I wouldn't take both the statin AND the red yeast rice as that combination may complicate the issue of your tolerance to statins.

Your heart is a muscle and if statins are adversely affecting your muscles, you need to discuss with your cardio ASAP.

I wasn't able to tolerate statins or red yeast rice and am now on the self injecting Repatha which is amazing in the degree of cholesterol control.

Good luck.
