@katydid77. I have tried many statins. Many years ago, Simvastatin was the first one, couldn't tolerate it, changed to prevastatin for a while eventually my GP let me go off it. Simvastatin has the most side effects. Now I tried pravastatin, still not good. Then my cardiologist put me on a new statin, even worse. The last statin was Crestor. Both my Neurologist and my GP's wife were on it, so i gave it a try, only 5 mg, the lowest dosage. My lipid test were great but pain still there. Finally my cardiologist is taking me off that too, so I'll wait a few weeks to see if that med is causing the pain. If not, he's going to put me back on prevastatin which he said has the least side effects. It's a waiting game. I'm getting pretty frustrated.
What dosage are you taking?

I too have statin pain. My internist ran tests on statin sensitivity and mine was high. He put me on Crestor 5 mg/day (half dose) and my pain went down substantially. My LDL dropped from 170 to 80. Of course I still must follow a low saturated fat diet. I recommend trying a half dose if your doctor will agree. The only issue I do not like is my blood glucose increased to 105. My doctor said statins do increase blood glucose.
