Message: <blockquote data-quote="philip123" data-source="post: 2208623" data-attributes="member: 517451">Thank you for your replies - I initially started cycling, which got me out and about but didn't seem to do much for my muscles, so I then started swimming and going to the gym.  I started the Statins before going to the gym but after the cycling.  Not very scientific I'm afraid so I can't pin-point the cause of the pains.If the Statins are the cause of the pains I presume all will sort itself out over time?If it takes 6 weeks for me to rid myself of these pains (caused by the exercise) then that's fine with me, as long as what's happening to me is normal and expected.  Its thoroughly uncomfortable because the pains are non-stop, although Deep Heat and baths do help; but there's no point in stopping exercising just to stop the pains, after all I am where I am because of my lack of exercise, and there's only one way to beat this Diabetes, and that's to fight it. I've got my numbers down from 23mmol to 7mmol and so I know I'm winning. You're absolutely right about resting as well, but its finding the right amount of exercise, and finding the right amount of rest.</blockquote>
