In many seriously damaged statin victims, pain control is of paramount importance. I am referring here to statin associated cases of chronic peripheral neuropathy, chronic myopathy and the chronic neuromuscular degenerative conditions commonly referred to as ALS-like or those resembling Parkinsonism and many others.

If pain is of primary concern it must be treated aggressively by those competently trained in pain management. In my own case pain has been my first and foremost complaint. Only recently has weakness and incoordination entered the picture.

Many doctors, especially those in primary care will consider themselves entirely competent to manage pain but this is simply not so. My 23 years in general practice taught me very little relevant to what I have recently learned about pain management from my new doctor and I have had only the briefest of introductions.
