| 1 | Total Cholesterol 301 | I have been on lovastatin for 2 months. I have low back issues but when it flares up, only my right leg hurts and this pain is different and in both of my legs equally, not just my right leg. It is a diffuse leg pain/can not pin point the areas but feels deep, almost like the pain is coming from the bones or something. It is worse in the mornings...I would describe it as a deep, achy feeling in my muscles and bones with no definite origin. The pain also occurs in my buttocks, more so on my right side for the gluteal pain but equal in each leg as far as the diffuse pain I experience. It is more prominent in my lower legs, ie..my calves and shins than in my thighs. | F | 52 | 20 1X D | 5/20/2012 | ||
