Does Simvastatin Cause Cramps In The Leg?
I used to take Simvastatin for high cholesterol but my muscle cramps got so bad I can hardly walk, and stop taking it. I still get cramps in my right leg so bad that I can hardly make it through a grocery store. Could this still be from this drug I was taking?
