Contact doctor: Maybe several causes for leg weakness, such as neck problem compressing spinal cord. But you take a statin, which can cause muscle weakness, and rarely even peripheral neuropathy. Contact your doctor as this does need to be addressed. In meantime, you could supplement CoQ-10, but that would be a modest intervention at best.

Statins: Can interfere with muscle function, I would supplement with coenzyme q10 and inform my doc and consider stoping the pravastatin.
