Question: Hi
I started feeling some pains behind my knee Its like the muscle or something isnt stretching well as I walk The pain stays for some days and returns at intervals Ive been taking rosuvastatin tablets as prescribed by a doctor for over 2months now to help reduce my cholesterol level 

Is the pain something that I should worry about

Thank you
Answer: Hello there

One of the common side effects of the group of cholesterol lowering drugs called statins is muscle pain and aches Youre currently on one of those drugs just like you said

Ill advise that you go see your doctor and lodge this complaint for proper follow up Your doctor might adjust your dosage or change your drug according to your complaint

I hope this helps
