Hi,
I’m getting on with my diabetes a lot better now using both a LC diet and metformin. I was given statins to take but I held off until I knew I could tolerate metformin.
I’ve taken the statins for about 4 days now and my left arm is in so much pain, I can’t really move it and certain parts are painful to touch. If feels like a really bad pulled muscle but seems spread across my upper arm. I havnt really done anything to pull it and it appeared to come following a BP test at home as I need to monitor that too for a bit.
What sort of pain do you get with statin related muscle pain? I have stopped the statin to see if it helps and will make an appointment to see the doc next week so just after a little advice until then.
