Hi after taking Simvastatin for over 18 months the side effects of extremely aching legs seems to have kicked in. They are extremely painful and even walking a short distance is hard work at first I thought I must be getting the flu.
 
Go straight to your doctor Sheilagh - they can prescribe different statins if necessary 🙂
