Q: i am experiencing leg pain on retiring, and am taking Zocor about an hour before I go to bed.

Could  Zocor be causing this?  I only have this problem at night, and it is causing a real problem getting to sleep.

Hi db,

 

Zocor is a stain medication.  A common side effect of statin meds includes muscle aches and pains.  I recommend discussing your options with your physician.

 

All the best,
