The OT post I couldn't find and figured must have never shown up was
partially about statins. I can't tell if some of the pain I have from
nerve compression that goes down my leg is really muscle pain from
statins. So I feel ya. Do you get spasms and "charly horse" type pain
in muscles, for example, your shins or side of shins?
