Brief Answer:
CoQ10 and l-carnitine.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query.
Your problem is mainly due to intake of statins.
Muscle pain is adverse effect, with an incidence of approximately 10–11% in statin users, this is proved, so I usually supplement my patients with special drugs like CoQ10 and l-carnitine for treating certain statin myalgias.
I also advise my patients to have supplement of vitamin B 12 and vitamin D.
So I advise you to consult your treating doctor regarding CoQ10 and l-carnitine as these are to be taken under supervision of doctor.
It will definitely help you.
Thanks,

I have been on coq 10 for years. As well as D
My statin dosage is only 10.
Do you think by adding I carnitine and b this will help?
I started trying the statin every 2nd or 3rd day this week.
I have planta facia in the feet, and trigger finger, for which I had 2 shots of cortazone each . Is this a symptom of inflammation? Been taking 15mg of meloxicam occasionally, as my upper arms and legs hurt when sleeping on my side to prevent sleep apnea. The pain flared up right after a pneumonia vaxination about 1 month ago, after I had anthesia for trigger
Finger surgery. Do any of these others tie in?
