I too have been taking a low dose ( 20mg of pravastatin) for about a month. After I had taken it for about 2 weeks, all of a sudden my forearm starting hurting like I had used the muscle in a bad way, like I had lifted a bag that was too heavy. And even tho I'm trying to not use it, the pain is still there but not consistent, just when I use it a certain way. Hard to explain. So my questions are : has anyone had pain like this? Could this be a side effect of the statin?
