Can Discontinuation Of Cholestrol Medication Cause Leg Pain?
I have been experiencing achey, throbbing pain in both legs for a couple of days. It s been difficult to sleep from the discomfort. I ate a banana in case of low potassium but still feel the same. I have not taken cholestrol medication for three days now. I have been using it for three months now. What could this discomfort be from?

Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this is not because of the cholesterol medicine that you have stop, but this could be due to claudication, drink lot of water and this can be best manage with the analgesic tab and the best option is Ibuprofen 400 mg twice in day hope this information helps you have a good day.
