mhmoore33It only happens at night when I go to bed. My feet feel numb and there is a tightness feeling that goes up the front of my leg about 8 inches or so. A chiropractor told me that it could be caused by simvastatin of which I have been taking for about a year and six months. Could this be so??? I have a hard time falling asleep from this. It goes away if I get up and walk.
Zocor - can simvastatin be the cause of numbness in my feet at night?

You must talk to the doc, it could be due to edema, I too suffer from this & take a diuretic prescribed by the doc.
