I’ve never received a cortisone shot so I don’t know how long it actually relieve the pain. I wonder if the shot just covered up the pain the time being and that’s why when you went back on the statins the pain came back….I Was on two medications that could’ve been causing my muscle weakness in my legs. One was Eliquis the other a cholesterol med, I wanted to find out which one was causing the weakness so I stopped taking the cholesterol med for a little over two weeks. I did not see any difference so I went back on taking it 5 mg every night. I thought if I stayed off longer, I might be causing myself more problems with the cholesterol level. I told my cardiologist that I needed a break from Eliquis, so I stopped taking it after. She finally told me that I didn’t have A fibwhich she said I had it when I had a heart attack in December 2024, but I had a heart monitor in February 2026 and results came back normal but I never heard anything from the doctor until July when I told her I wanted to stop it
So it’s been over two weeks off the Eliquis. My legs are still weak, so I don’t know what the timeframe is if it was causing the weakness, how long it would take for me to kind of get back to normal.
