I have been on Zocor for 3 months and until I found this site I thought my pain was in my head. I am having difficulty raising my arms over my head or reach around my back because of severe shoulder pain in both shoulders. I had normal chol until last year it was 240 and doctor put me on zocor when diet did not work. The shoulder pain is terrible. I have felt terrible on this drug and now I know why. I am seeing my doctor Weds for a blood test and will not be taking zocor again.

I feel exactly the same thing you feel in both shoulders. I have been taking statin for a year I would guestimate. I can't do the things you said could not. I especially suffer in two activities: showering and sleeping because I have to extend my arms.

My question is: Have you seen your doctor and if so, what was your solution?

I would greatly appreciate feed back if you are in position to shed more light on this. Thank you

Ahmad
