Can Leg Pain Be Caused By Cholesterol Medications?
My father had a kidney transplant 12 weeks ago and is doing great. He has recently begun to experience leg pain from the knee down in both legs. It gets so bad he has a hard time walking. He has never had a problem with arthritis. We are concerned the pain may be caused by the cholesterol meds he was placed on post transplant.
