Last year I was on statins for my high cholesterol. I began having pain in my abdominal area it felt like my whole body was going to collapse from the pain, also started having pain in my legs that wakes me up in severe pain almost every night. I was told statin drugs are the cause of this. I've been off the statins for about two months now and all my pain is still happening. The pain in my abdominal area only comes after I been doing something even remotely physical. Anyone know what this is about I have my last nut class on March 20th and I am beginning to think the pain could be from my body carrying all the excess fat but I've never had this kind of pain before. My VSG will be dated for april or may and I'm wondering if the surgery will help this pain go away.

It is so hard to guess what is causing pain over the internet

My MIL gets muscle spasms that are debilitating. Low sodium V8 helps her.

Since the pain is abdominal, you could have something going on with an internal organ. Doctors need to run tests to check those out. Maybe a hernia..

How often do you have pain? Does it stay constant or come and go? Does the leg pain seem related to the abdominal pain?

How about your female organs? Is everything normal with that?

Do you see what I mean? Soo many different possibilities....

I use to be on statins but everyone
Made my whole body ache.then I was told I could take the vitamin niacin.
The no flush niacin. It is for cholesterol.

I have had an ultrasound of my abdominal area done, my blood and urine show me in perfect health. I have never had body pain from being overweight before last summer and I'm not sure what the pain feels like, I have been 238 and now down to 207 but I really think my body is beginning to feel the extra weight and its giving me pain. Just wondering what it would feel like, I'm so glad my surgery is coming up soon and hopefully this pain goes away.
