What Causes Shoulder Pain While On Statins?

SUpportive care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. With new onset of statins in 3 months, with history of joint and knee pains at age of 70 altogether be causing this pain in right shoulder forearm. Statin might be playing a role as well as statins can cause myalgias and painful body musculature. Keep exercising and keep traying range of mobility to prevent any stiffness in joints. Take some tylenol and some NSAIDs for the pain and wait and see. No need to be concerned, its a mixed picture of age related arthralgias and maay be statins. Switching statins wont be that beneficial. If the pain exaggerates, revisit your physician to rule out any sinister side effects of myolysis but that is quite rare. other wise no worries .
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
