@danielgonzaleznp: Muscle pain is one of the most common side effects of statins—and also the most overlooked. In this video, I explain how statin-induced myopathy happens, what symptoms to look for, and why it’s important to advocate for yourself if something doesn’t feel right. #StatinSideEffects #MusclePain #CholesterolMeds #HeartHealth #TikTokHealthTips
I decided to retry rosuvastatin three days ago. My left leg from my butt down to my ankles is just aching me today. The first try a few years ago was while I was treated for Breast Cancer. So I decided to give it another try now. I am thinking I just can’t take this.

I have been on Atorvastin for 2 1/2 years now. For the last year or so I have had daily lower left leg pain and weakness. I have now stopped taking these statins what do I do now? It’s only been a few days and the leg pains are still there but seem a little better. How long should I continue this? what are my options?
