From one of your other posts you said you had foot drop that was caused by a compressed nerve next in your leg next to your knee and it was taken care of via surgery.

If you indeed have CMT, that would not be the case. AFO's help CMTers who have foot drop. You should see a neurologist who can help you as far as genetic testing which would tell you if you do indeed have a form of CMT that they now can test for. The testing is very expensive if they have to do the full panel of tests.

Also, here is a medications list for people who do have CMT.

As you can tell there is an uncertain or minor risk for a CMTer. There can be muscle weakness from a statin as the general population also can experience. I know of a few of those people.
