Muscle aches from taking statins.

Of all the posts here, and people complaining about leg, arm and shoulder pain, no one mentioned pain in the buttocks, (or PIA) which it's more commonly called. My butt is aching just like my arms, legs and shoulders. It is not as bad as the other areas, but can certainly live better without it. Has anyone else had this, sure like to know.

I do have a prescription for Hydrocodone 5-300MG which I take ocassionally, and it does relieve it for a while. Even so, I cant live on this pain med, and when it is used up and I cant get it renewed, Ill be stuck with the pain and no way of getting relief.

Im like everyone else having pain and wondering when it'll go away, or at least being able to live with it. I see by a lot of posts it is possible I will have to live with it.

I am taking calcium, potassium and magnesium which are supposed to help.

Are you still on Statins?

I personally have not had any muscle pain in the buttock region. Stomach chest legs arms shoulders yes..

Look up Serpeptase I have just ordered the product, it is an emzime that could help. Read up on it yourself to decide, I was recommended on this site, read the reviews etc. I will only start next week so I cannot personally endorse right now.
