I am taking pravastatin for several and have been suffering from occipatal neuralgia for a year. I have had nerve blocks, physical therapy, nsaids, Gabapentin, & Lyrica all of which had had little beneficial effect.
Does statin use cause occipatal neuralgia?

This was my first question, when my doctor told me to take statins this year. Statins aren't supposed to affect anybody this way. I was told to take it at night, with food. I still finding myself wondering why I need to take it at bedtime with food if it doesn't do anything bad. I have one of my old doctors as an Email buddy, I checked several other health sites, and bugged 2 pharmacists, before I took the first one. I hope that somebody can put some light on this subject.
