Suggest Treatment For The Hip Pain And High Blood Pressure?
I am a 57 year old White Male who has been in excellent health for most of my life, in spite of being a pipe-smoker for a lot of years. Ht is 5'8 and wiegh 190 lbs. Married x 32 years. Statins for cholesterol seems to have taken a great deal of the fun out of exercise for me. Also, my fasting blood sugar seemed to climb along with pronounced leg and hip pain upon walking. Why are there no public broadcasts about statin effects with all of the complaints? Paul Richard Strange, Sr. YYYY@YYYY Waxahachie Texas

hai
smoking , diabetic for all these, statins are very important for your life style to decrease the cholesterol levels
with statins for longer time more concern is with the derangement of the liver function tests , other with generalised muscle weakness & myalgia..
sugar levels are high due to your stress & pain,
but then statins are more protective on the heart & the blood vessels.
all the best
