What Are The Side Effects Of Statin Tablets?

I discontinued statin medication because of cramps in my legs and took CoQ-10 for two weeks. There was no change but after the first week I had pain in my legs at night? (I had restless leg syndrome years ago but symptoms stopped when I stopped canine.). After the first week on CoQ10 I also experienced a burning sensation in the lower legs. I have had neruapathy but it only effected my feet and toes until I stopped the statins. My question: Did stopping the statin effect through restless syndrome and neruapathy?
