Hi,
Based on the history you seem to have developed myopathy (muscle pain, tenderness or weakness) apparently due to cholesterol lowering medicine. I suggest you bile acid binding resin such as cholestyramine or colesevelam which is equally effective lowering high cholesterol levels but not associated with myopathy.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
