The entire diet/heart/cholesterol theory is a scam. Much along the same lines as human induced global warming.

Consider taking Coenzyme Q10 with the statin.

Or replace the Statin with Red Yeast Rice

Rare cases of rhabdomyolysis have been reported with LIPITOR and other statins. With any statin, tell patients to promptly report muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness. Discontinue drug if myopathy is suspected, if creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels rise markedly, or if the patient has risk factors for rhabdomyolysis.

Tell your doc! Statins can cause myopathy.

Ernest, my wife and I were prescribed Vytorin by the doc for marginal chlorestorol numbers.

We both developed pains in our lower legs within days, something neither of us had ever had before. We are both in early fifties with excellent health records and no major problems.

We stopped taking Vytorin. We take flaxseed oil capsules instead.

The leg pain stopped whe the Vytorin stopped.

BTW, we told the doc why. And you should tell the doc if you have muscle pains—he should know as muscle pain is something I believe the drug literature says he should be told.
