It is a low-grade persistent ache, and gets worse when I stand for long periods (walking seems ok.)
Over the past 3 months, I have concentrated on doing my back stretching and strengthening exercises about 5 times a week, and the pain is almost unnoticeable most days- except for the next 2 after injection day. On one of those days, I am often hit with a bout of fatigue that makes me want to lay down and sleep too.
I tolerate these because compared to statins, this is nothing, and my LDL continues to fall.
