Brief Answer:
Get serum uric acid.

Detailed Answer:
Yeah, I have read your query.

Your problems may be due to pneumonia shot which you have taken previously, increasing uric acid levels, statins.

As your doctor had already stopped statin, so one cause is eliminated.

If symptoms are due to Pneumonia shot, then will go by seven days itself.

But still you have problem, if I am your treating doctor I must advise you to get serum uric acid levels checked and send me the report.

For sleep apnea I advise you to visit General physician as he may do you physical examination which must for you.

Till then for pain have tab.aceclofenac100mg+serratiopeptidase15mg thrice a day.

Apply hot packs.

Thanks,
