Q: I got off the pravastatin a month ago still having leg aches got better but still got them when i sit or lay down stoped working out thought it might help it didnt whats can i di ? help
Hi Ken,
Unfortunately, I do not know of a set length of time it takes for the symptoms to resolve themselves. May be a few weeks/days for one person and much longer for another. I recommend discussing with your physician. He/she may want to run some tests to see if you have any deficiencies that need to be corrected. For example, statin medications impact coenzyme Q10 levels.
All the best,
