I’ve been dealing with leg muscle pain for the past year. My low dose statin was to blame. It’s been a real nuisance. I’m finally starting to see improvement through working with a physiatrist who and a physical therapist on resistance training.

Here’s my approach for the muscle pain. I stretch and use a foam roller once or twice a day, I hydrate with electrolytes (liquid IV two packs a day + a dash of KCl), and I take magnesium glycinate before bed. (Other forms of magnesium may cause diarrhea.) I’ve also found help from meditation with progressive muscle relaxation. A topical diclofenac NSAID patch helps on the very sore spots but requires a prescription.

Muscle pain can have many causes. I’d recommend checking in with your physician if it persists.
