Just want to give a bit more information the chiropractor/doctor that I am seeing here has told me that it can be cured or very close to it, but it is not an overnight cure, he told me it could take up to two years, and I have only been in the program for three months but I have noticed a difference, but beware before it eases up, the symptoms or pain gets worse first as the nerves are starting to wake up again, so you wind up feeling a lot of discomfort and unease . I sometimes get firey feelings in my legs--which he is is absolutely normal, means the blood flow is getting back into the parts it should be going through--it is like getting a hot flush. I take something called NOx Synergy which is a source of substrates for Nitric Oxide, which is what gets your blood flowing to the muscles. The best thing is to keep moving without overdoing it. Standing a lot is a bit of a problem, if pain does get too much I do take a pain med called Diclofemex (spelling might not be quite accurate) with an addition to it to protect the stomach as it is hard on the stomach and best taken with food. Told to take it twice a day as needed, but I find one can last for a couple of days and a lot of times I do not take it for a couple of weeks or more. I always check out any pills they try to give me, if too many side effects I refuse them there are always alternatives--I will not take statins, they do more harm than good as far as I am concerned

Thank you for that added comment Maremouse. It is helpful to know a realistic timeline for recovery from the effects of statins and their affect on feet, ankles and calves. I figured 6 months, but I see it may take way longer, and that is helpful psychologically to know. 🙂
