Does anyone here take a statin? Please be very aware of any changes/pains/aches you may experience while on these drugs. As a cyclist (or any athlete), these side effects can be more pronounced. I believe that the statin I was taking (Zocor) has damaged my larger muscles. I can't seem to develop my quads & hamstrings to the point I did last year. Warm ups take 15-20 miles instead of 15-20 minutes. Has anyone else had such an experience?
