A member asked:
Took atorvastatin for 2 mo. had muscle spasm in my thighs for 3 days, shoulder pain for 1 week. i quit taking meds. could it be related to meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: One should take coenzyme q10 if taking a statin as the statin depletes the body of it. End result could be muscle spasm/cramp or pain.
