You got that right! Doctor's don't give a crap. You can complain of muscle cramps, pain, numbness and they just ignore you. I wound up in ER when on Lipitor (for several of the side effects, the worst being pain in the area of the kidneys, and all the other statins cause such terrible cramps all over the body. Lovastatin (Niacin) caused such terrible flushing. The pharmacist said to stop taking it. When I contacted my Dr's. office he said to wait til my next visit and we'd discuss it. I used to get terrible cramps nearly every night, and now I get maybe 1 every two months.
Yep, lovastatin caused cramps with me also, then one day I noticed my legs didn't feel right, they felt heavy and stiff, but just for about 20 seconds. I quit taking it then and there, the cramps went away and my legs have never felt that way again. Doc didn't like it but I told him they weren't his legs so he could take a statin all he wanted to but I wasn't going to.
