My nurse daughter encouraged me to get a CAC screening last year. It was a shocking 534. This was does without dye which I believe is most common. Last year I started a statin which resulted in a significant reduction in my lipid panel, especially triglycerides. Towards the end of 2024 I Noticed a slight discoloration in urine. At my annual checkup in January I asked for a urinalysis test to be performed and it was ignored. I even left a sample and it was tossed out. Around March I noticed increasing pain in both fore arms. It progressed to my shoulders. Two weeks ago, I asked for a urinalysis. I have a history of trace urine in the blood. There was no blood and I told them I thought it could be the statin. My doctor set up an urology appointment. I declined. I stopped taking the statin two weeks ago today. Pain in both arms is significantly diminished. I will probably give myself a month break and see how I feel, and then start back at a reduced rate. Maybe 20 mg twice a week. Hope this info helps.
