Brief Answer:

Bone scan

Detailed Answer:

Hi

The long term side effects of simvastatin are headache, muscle aches, tenderness, nausea, drowsiness. vomiting, weakness, dizziness, abdominal cramping or pain and difficulty sleeping.

Would advise you to do a Bone scan test.

For aching in joints you can apply fentanyl transdermal patch locally.

Consult your local doctor regarding it
