What are your experiences with Leqvio?

@rnr1948 I'm sorry to hear this. I, too, have an aversion and intolerance to statins (specifically rosuvastatin which caused irreversible neuropathy in my feet) and chose to try inclisiran/Leqvio. My 3rd injection will be tomorrow. Would you mind telling me -- was the pain you experienced immediate? I ask because I am suddenly having pain in one ankle, making me more unsteady than the neuropathy symptoms. It feels like I twisted my ankle, but I haven't. It's 6 months past after the 2nd injection, so I'm thinking it's unlikely related to Leqvio. But it would be helpful to know more about your experience.
Thanks In advance.

FyI: my second injection was 3 months after the first one.
@justlucky I will have #3 injection in October. So we are not far apart in this process. I have new pain on sides of lower arms and one leg. Not obviously joint pain. It is very sharp but last only a short time. I was thinking nerve damage from an episode of Eliquis bleeding in the ER was the cause, but I should also consider Leqvio as a possible cause. It seems to be something like MS symptoms, but not quite. Lots of visual problems too.
At this age, I have a hard time being sure what causes what. I can say for sure what helped with my symptoms. A physical therapy method called MacKinysie Method helped my breathing and blood pressure dramatically and I get fewer episodes of vision and muscle pain. Neck exercises may have helped too.

Hello just lucky,
The extreme pain didn't start until after my second injection. It
started about 3- 4 weeks later. I also thought that I had injured my foot
but now I am confident it is coming from the shot. I hope that this helps.
