pain

[carbo]

There was an article in the papers concerning those who took statins and blood pressure pills getting muscular pain.I am in that group and I am suffering muscular pain in hip, back, neck wrists and knees,Should I suffer the pain as I need the pills?

Hi Carbo, yes statins can cause muscle pain, particularly Simvastatin so I understand. Try talking to your Doc, they can change you onto a different statin or reduce your dose to help improve your pain.
