I Have Been Taking Livalo For Cholesterol Control For Over

I have been taking Livalo for cholesterol control for over 2 years. For a year and 1/2 I have been experiencing nerve pain on the upper part of the right leg, right side above the knee. It was numb for several months, but now it is just tender to the touch. I have been noticing some weakness starting to happen in that leg as I walk up stairs. My left knee has a pain in it whenever I walk up the stairs that makes me favor the right leg. I did not have this before starting the medication. I did notice a blister on my right leg high on the leg before all of this started. I first thought I had Lymes disease, but I have no idea what is going on! I have not seen a doctor for these symptoms. My doctor who prescribed Livalo gives me so little time to talk that I have not been able to tell him what I have been experiencing.
