What Causes Severe Neuropathy Pain After Taking Pravastatin Sodium?

I have developed Neuropathy, which when it flares up is very painful. Could this have been caused by Prevastatin Sodium 20 mg.? I experienced horrific pain when I used this prescription, and shortly after developed Neuropathy in my feet. I also had used Acetone lavishly (nail polish remover) and wonder if this could have caused this condition. Gabba Pentin 600 mg 3 x per day eventually caused me sleepiness and fogginess, leading to quitting it and quitting work and trying unconventional treatments, but I still can t work a regular job and am using Ibupropin as needed. Will this cause ulcers?

Consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
