But my GP has changed the Statins to Atorstatins
I was previous on Simvastatin's, Pravastatin's, Lipitor and now Atorstatins Tearstains.
And my god am l suffering. Over he years l have had joint pain in my Knees, arms and shoulder and now my feet.
I believe that l my now have gout in my left big toe,
I have researched the drug - which l don't normally do. I rely on the GP. And found that there is something in Statin that causes Gout.
I remember a very good friend of mine refuses t take Statin, on these grounds.
Any ideas

All drugs may have side affects. What dose have you been prescribed?
