I have a problem with high cholesterol yet when put on any type of cholesterol medication, statin or non-statin I have severe muscle pain. Does anyone else have this type of problem and if so, what have you done about it?? I have tried herbal medication and otc medication, but NOTHING works for me. Does anyone have a solution??

Yes, I have same trouble with my chloresterol and stating, I hurt terribly in my leg muscles so i take red yeast rice capsules with Coq 10. Seems to be controlling it. Dr is not bothering me about it anymore. I don't know my actual numbers.

Thank you for your response. But CoQ 10 doesn't help me. I take 200 mg, 2x a day.

I use Co Q 10 of 200 mg with my statin drug and it takes care of the muscle pain.

I always get restless leg syndrome. That drives me crazy.
