So I have just been prescribed 10mg daily of Crestor for high cholesterol. My "bad" cholesterol (LDL) was 170.
Without debating whether or not I need the statin (I "fought" it for months with lifestyle changes to no avail), can anyone speak to any side effects? I have been on the statin for only a week, and do not feel anything, but muscle soreness seems like the most common side effect. I don't know when this would potentially start, and I realize it may not effect me (fingers crossed).
Any info would be great. Thanks
