HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that your complain of pain is not due to the medicine that you are taking for lowering the cholesterol, if you still have a doubt then it is advisable to get the new prescription for another drug for the pain you can try Tab Diclofenac 50 mg sustain release once in day, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
