Over 50 and prescribed Zocor after being unable to get my LDL, my ratio, and Total Cholesterol down. The LDL did come down to normal and the ratio improved and Total Cholesterol came down to 208. After 1 month I had to take myself off of it. My right leg is not functioning the way it did before starting this drug. Walking, going up and down stairs, getting in an out of vehicles, is extremely uncomfortable. Also, I can't sleep on my right side now and need to put a pillow under my leg. I've now been off of it 10 days. My Dr. and I keep missing each other. I'd like to know if my leg will return to normal after a period of time off of this drug. I'm hoping someone who's taken this drug can answer this for me.
