Hi Billingsgate

Welcome to NeuroTalk .

There is some evidence that use of statins can be a risk factor for PN but the prevalence of it is not clear.

Here is some information which might help.

WHO Drug Information Vol. 19, No. 2, 25: Safety and Efficacy Issues: Statins and peripheral neuropathy

Statin Neuropathy – Therapath Neuropathology

Association of statin use with peripheral neuropathy in the U.S. population 4 years of age or older. - PubMed - NCBI
