Muscle pain and damage with statins

• One of the most common complaints of people taking statins is muscle pain.
• You may feel this pain as a soreness, tiredness or weakness in your muscles.
• The pain can be a mild discomfort, or it can be severe enough to make your daily activities difficult.

Who's at risk of developing statin side effects?

• Taking multiple medications to lower your cholesterol
• Being female
• Having a smaller body frame
• Being age 80 or older
• Having kidney or liver disease
• Drinking too much alcohol
• Having certain conditions such as hypothyroidism or neuromuscular disorders including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

How long does it take for muscle pain to go away after stopping statins?

If the statin is the cause, the symptoms should go away within days or weeks after the drug is stopped. But if you continue the drug, the damage can progress and become severe and even lead to rhabdomyolysis.
