Default Good info
I believe that statins have been implicated before in PN. Patients need to be monitored for rhabdomyolisis (muscles breakdown) via blood testing.

I think statins save lives, however, they do have drawbacks, as do most medications.

We have to weigh our risk versus benefit ratio and accept whatever decisions we make....(Like I really regret having selective spinal nerve root injections big time.)
