hi I’m 3 weeks post stent and occasional being woken up early hours of the morning with aching in my lower left leg . Anyone else had this ? Thought it might be side effect to statin , but weird that it’s only 1 leg ?

Hello :-)

Even though it is just in one leg it could be the statins causing it but I would talk with your GP it could be something else that is making your leg hurt

Let us know how you get on :-) x

Hello :-)

You will have to see how you get on if it gets to much maybe your Doctor will be able to change them for something else :-)
