[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 2051773, member: 209498"] When I first started taking statins I got muscle pain in my upper right arm and shoulder. Yours sounds worse. I went to see my gp as suggested in the leaflet accompanying the statins. She said it might be due to something else, like straining my arm at work (I did a fairly physical job) or sleeping in an uncomfortable position, and said I should continue the statins. I did, and the pain did get better after 3-4 weeks. I did stop taking the statins a few years later after being diagnosed T2 and feeling that the statins might have contributed to the rise in my bg levels. Reading about cholesterol I believe that a higher level of cholesterol is better for older men. My total cholesterol did go up after I stopped taking the statins, but has since reduced, and although it's still higher than the NHS guidelines would want, at 5.6, the ratios are good. [/QUOTE]
