Zipper, leg and joint pain can definitely be an adverse side effect of statin drugs. Hope the tests you have tomorrow get to the bottom of your problem and that any damage sustained is reversible. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

so glad you went to the doctor, zipper. Once you know what is wrong, you can at least take steps to correct the problem.

My good friend recently moved to Calgary, and her grown-up son has been having neurlogical tests for about 1 year now, turns out it is MS; we were both happy - strange thing to say, but at least now he can get to grips with it, medication, lifestyle changes and so on, and yes, it could have been a lot worse, too.
