Hi all. After advice from the pharmacist I have stopped taking Rosuvastatin 10mg for a week as to see if my upper back pain would ease. I have been having pain, getting increasingly worse, since November last year. And guess what - my back pain has improved dramatically over the past week with no pain yesterday or today.
But I assume that i need statins as I don’t think that I will be able to maintain a LDL of below 1.8 without them. Does anyone have ideas on what statin causes the least muscle pain please.
I had my NSTMI in July last year, started on Rosuvastatin 40mg which were reduced to 20mg and then 10mg due to my low cholesterol levels.
My numbers last week were HDL & LDL 1.4. Triglycertates 1.1.
Thank you
