Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi there! Hey I have been suffering from a strange pain in my left buttock ever since I started taking Pravachol. I don t think it is sciatica because the pain is in one spot and it does not radiate down the back of my leg. I also have some numbness in my feet and toes especially on that same left side. Any help would be appreciated.
Pravachol is a Statin group drug used to control bad cholesterol(LDL)and increase good cholesterol(HDL). Have you tested your Lipid profile? Some time will have side effects like muscle pain and weakness. Pain persist consult your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr C.ELANCHEZHIAN, General & Family Physician
