Welcome badlimey.

Badlimey, welcome.

I join others in thanking you for your service. I join that nurse in suspecting that (at least) some of your issues may be connected to statins; they are known (in some cases) to cause peripheral neuropathy (possible reason for burning pain), however that may still be better than succumbing to another widowmaker.

There is much information about statins in the Peripheral Neuropathy forum, as well as what can be done to mitigate their damage. You can find it (for starters) through the Search facility. Type statins in the Keyword(s): window, select Search Titles Only from the drop-down, Show Results as Threads, and click Search Now.

I also suggest/urge you to post something in the Peripheral Neuropathy forum (including which statins you were on, and specific blood tests and results). In particular, have you been tested for Vitamins B12 & D(3)? Patients on statins are often low on those two vitamins (among others) which can cause/contribute to peripheral neuropathy.

Best Wishes, and again Thank You and Welcome,

Doc
