@dinosoke - I feel your pain (literally and figuratively). Here's my cautionary tale....
I have idiopathic* peripheral neuropathy (*translate = unknown cause). in both feet. It started with a feeling that I had tape stuck to the bottoms of my feet, pain with prolonged standing and walking (a trip to the grocery store was painful), and quickly spread to "sock and glove" numbness as high as 6" above my ankles. Over 5 months I saw many specialists (podiatrist, orthopedist, physical therapist, spine MD, 2 neurologists), had x-rays, MRI, many nerve and blood tests, a spinal injection, a steroid injection in my feet, and a prescription for gabapentin (and a laughable recommendation for "Two Old Goats" lotion). Nothing helped.
That was almost 6 years ago. Since then, the pain when walking/standing has subsided, but my balance is off, I still have loss of sensation in the bottoms of my feet, and sometimes the sock-and-glove foot/ankle numbness. It has impacted my physical activity and quality of life.
Nine months after the onset of the numbness (after all the specialists had weighed in), I stumbled across a study about statins and neuropathy and learned that rosuvastatin (generic for Crestor) can cause neuropathy. It is rare, though. Often the symptoms don't arise until 1-2 years after starting the med. I had been talking rosuvastatin for 2 years when the symptoms started. By the time I read the study, I had been taking rosuvastatin it for about 3 years. I stopped taking it that same day.
**NOT ONE of the MDs I saw even suggested the statin might be the cause.**
The medical professionals had automatically jumped to the quickest, easiest cause. I had elevated A1C -- but it was not even prediabetic high. The 2nd neurologist monitored my case for 3 years and after seeing the A1C did not increase, but actually came down, he finally told me he was inclined to believe my assessment. Unfortunately, he told me if the nerves don't regenerate within 2 years of onset, it's permanent damage.
Now there is more available info about statins and neuropathy than there was 5-6 years ago. If you are taking a statin, I recommend looking into this more.
Wishing you the best!
