I did contact my doctor and he told me to stop the statins and see if symptoms go away in 2or 3 weeks. It’s been 3wks and no change so will be contacting doctor soon.

I am on statins now but had similar issues with first statin. Switched to Crestor )generic) and have been fine since. My PMR began a yr after starting Crestor but after 3 months I have tapered from 20mg to 4mg successfully with no issues nor discomfort. I’m still taking 20 mg Crestor.

It's funny I never thought of this drug causing PMR problem. Just recently started rosuvastatin. WOW!
