i have had recent back pain along with serious ankle/feel/body swelling. Went to Dr. and was told to stop Simvastatin 20 mg. - had elevated CK level - what might I have to worry about? Nurse told me would recheck in 1 month. Also, Vitamin D level was down to 11.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having backache. Your vitamin D3 level is low . Treatment of it is vitamin D3 supplements.Analgesic such as ibuprofen is helpful for pain relief . As your doctor has asked to stop simvastatin , stop it. Back exercises will be started after once pain relief is achieved. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
