Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Pravachol

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.
