I am sorry I must have confused you with another newbie.

But with that long history of using statins... well, they are difficult on the nerve cells. They damage cells.

On this link are other links to the new photos of what statins do to cells and also a new YouTube about why and how statins are
toxic to cells.

It is unclear if you can undo what has happened so far.
Did you take or are you taking CoQ-10 to replace what the statins are lowering in your body? If you never did, now may be too late, but I'd try anyway. Qunol is a new form of CoQ-10 that has been solubilized to improve absorption. 100mg a day of this is about equivalent to 300mg of the older in oil types.

Some of our posters here who have been damaged by statins have improved some and others have not. Zocor appears to be the worst, with Lipitor closely following. (these are lipophilic meaning they go thru fatty tissue --like nerve cells--more easily than some others).

Magnesium seems to help many on our PN board. There is a lotion called Morton Epsom Lotion which works wonders. Not available everywhere yet, but at WalMart and online at Amazon.
Use just a little each day on a problematic area, and some will actually get into your blood stream for elsewhere use. Places with poor circulation respond the best. Oral should be a chelate and about 1/2 the RDA -- avoid oxide as it is a laxative and not absorbed appreciably.
