Do statin drugs cause back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Statins are associated with myagias (muscle pain). Usually this is in the legs. Depending on the timing your pain may be associated with the statins. Talk to your doctor, see if there are med changes you could make. If there is no association, you would be fine on the statins.
