[QUOTE="senior1, post: 785385, member: 122287"] I was put on simvastatin which I took till I started to get pains in my feet and legs. I reported it to my doctor and he said that these would soon go. I persevered for another 3 months then stopped taking them and my feet and legs slowly recovered. I was then persuaded to try another statin said to be better however this was worse I began to lose the use of my left foot I again told my doctor his reply was carry on with them and see how you go. I decided to stop taking them on my own Since then my walking has returned to normal. I know for some but I cant see how they can do you any good if they are affecting your quality of life to the extent that it makes walking difficult and causing servere pain. [/QUOTE]
