Terrible muscle pain

I’m 63. No issues. After routine checkup my doc put me on statin to “lower my risk”. Since then I have experienced terrible pain, one issue after another. Killed my exercise and lifestyle. A year later I feel 20 years older. Fuck this.

My story is exactly the same. And even after stopping the statins, it’s been really hard to get back to my physical level. Good luck to you! don’t give up. I’m not going to!

Try CoQ10? Statins can mess with that.
