I was on Crestor about 9 months due to extremely high cholesterol. I was 59 at the time I refused it all these years. My pcp said it’s just too high I need to get on a statin. I did reluctantly cause I’m very pill sensitive I went on Crestor 5 mg. It started out better than expected and 3 months later lowered bad cholesterol 100 points. Then after 9 months I started getting neuropathy, in my hands and feet where it would last a hour at a time. It was gradual here and there and kept getting worse and worse knifes jabbing me along with pins and needles and felt like bugs crawling on me. I called the pcp and told him I wasn’t going to take the statin anymore. I gradually got better and better it took 90 days for the majority of it to go away but still have fleeting neuropathy that hasn’t left. I hope it’s not permanent! Had all kinds of blood work and have not received a definitive answer on my condition from the neurologist, or a hematologist. I do not recall any neuropathy before I started on the Statin. I’m a painter and really pay attention to my aches and pains - neuropathy was never one of them!!!!
