I also suffered from neck and upper shoulder pain, I have had surgery on my shoulders and neck cervical 3-4 suffered for years till just last year when after repeated visits to my PCP for the same issues led him to actually have me get on the table and perform a physical exam, he found these areas to be very tight, he had me stop statins for a week to see if my pain went away and it worked. Doctor said that I’m allergic and it is a classic symptom of pain from using the medication. I still have to take statins but I’m on a much smaller dose
