Statin use?

[1jay]

Hi, has anyone experienced a worsening (or improvement!) of their pn with statin use?

Thanks in advance.

i was foolish enough to retry statins some years after stopping them. Within 3 days my peripheral neuropathy was much worse. I could not complete a modest walk we were doing daily.

All statins are known to be linked to peripheral neuropathy. The leaflet says they should not be given to people with muscle aches etc.

Well that’s really given me pause for thought, thanks so much for your input. Hopefully things have improved for you now or at least stabilised. Best wishes.
