30 days ago I woke up and had a hard time getting out of bed. My lower body muscles and nerves almost quit working. Within three days, they did quit working. My doctor sugested that the Provachol I was taking had had a adverse effect on my nervous system. I had been taking it for about 2 months. I quit taking the statin and am now (28 days later) starting to being able to walk. I am still using a walker but each day it gets a little better. I have been thru many different tests and the findings are that it is a reaction to the Provachol.

I am on Pravachol 40mg and I am experiencing musculer problems. First let me tell you that I was on Crestor and told my doctor that I was experiending musculer problems. He took me off Crestor for 3 weeks and now he is giving me Pravachol 40 mg. I have taken them only 4 days and already I am having trouble. I did have back surgery a few years back and now have a serious problem with my nerves and muscles in my right leg. They have done everything possible to solve my problem that is short of another or multiple operations. I believe if there is anything else I could take for my problem I would rather not take Pravachol. I am now being treated by the IDD machine (therapeutic) and I am now on my 5th trip to the table. I was feeling good until I woke up this morning with the same pain as I have had with Crestor. Could you tell me have I given the Medicine enough time or do I continue until I can not move my muscles and my nerves are shot?. NOTE: I forgot to add that upon getting up in the morning I can not step down on the feet as the pain in my heal area is so very painful.
