Does Naturally Elevated Cholesterol When Brought Down Lead To Other Problems?

I have had high cholestrol for over 20 yrs now. I am almost 60 now. About 10 yrs ago I was prescribed Statins, which brought down my cholestrol level fast but also left me bedridden with arthiritis, though the doctor said there is no connection between the two.I have no health issues and lead a moderate life style but am slightly overweight. I read recently that many people have elevated cholestrol naturally in their bodies and trying to bring them down could lead to other problems.Could u comment on this.
