What Does A Hole Between The Thumb And Index Finger Indicate?
I have a hole between my thumb and index finger. I had it for about five years. I am on statins because of my cholesterol, Zocor and Lipitor at different times. I seem to remember having seen that some statins can on occasion cause muscle loss. Is that correct?
