Question : Six months ago my Dr increased the number of drugs I needed. Amongst them were Statins. When I got a painful Muscular reaction she tried various other brands to no advantage. Finally we agreed to discontinue and I waited for the Pains to stop. They haven't. The Pain attacks the Muscles of my fingers, hands, arms etc and are VERY painful, Come on quite suddenly. reach a peak over two days and slowly fade over three days. Two or three days later another muscle or area is attacked. Trying to get an antidote I'm told to wait, it will go away, tho may take six month. Please is there ANY thing I can take to lessen or get rid of it? Am now trying Q10 and CrampEZE and Panadeine

Brief Answer: These symptoms are adverse effects of statins Detailed Answer: Hello I have studied your case, These symptoms are adverse effects of statins medication. Yes you may have to wait till effects resolve, you can reduce symptoms by some lifestyle changes. Continue your medication and nutritional supplement. Take plenty of water, fluid intake will dilute toxins. Eat fresh fruit and juice and soup they have anti-oxidant. Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you, You can do exercises like swimming, riding stationary bicycle, but do not overexert yourself. Take potassium rich diet. Hot and cold fomentation to leg. You need to continue you medication for couple of month to see effects. Add tab methylcobalamine 1500 once day or Inj methylcobalamine1500 mcg once week for 6 weeks.
