A member asked:

I increased my dose crestor (rosuvastatin) from 5 to10mg then i started having numbness and tingling in feet and hands. how long for it to resolve after stopping ?

Unknown: For a few reasons - it may coincidental and not related to the crestor (rosuvastatin). You may want to take certain vitamins that are known to encourage healthy nerve function like the b's.
