I've been taking statins since my 20s for really high cholesterol, above 10. I'm not overweight, run 3 x a week and walk a lot. I first started on Zocor and I'm now on Crestor. Unfortunately I've now got the same side effects as when I took simvastatin. Really suffering with muscle pain. My wrists especially, and it's getting worse. And the muscles in my behind and thighs are really painful, mostly after sleeping - the pain actually wakes me up. My cholesterol is well controlled, from 10.9 to 5.1. They're easy to swallow. Wish that there was something I could do about the pain.
