I think many patients don’t realize their newly discovered muscular pain and weakness are a result of the statins. Many accept it as “getting older”. We had a roundtable meeting and almost every single partipant had experienced the same thing as myself, and were told that it wasn’t related. Yet, when they stopped taking the statin drugs, the pain and weakness ended. Go figure. I think the drug manufacturers are bribing doctors to push the statins.

What I don’t understand is why you were getting the runaround on whether the muscles problems were due to the statins. Of course, most were, if they didn’t exist before. All providers know that. I can’t understand why they’d deny it. My physicians have never denied it, but in the case of Crestor one told me to tolerate it anyway. I requested a change.
