Hello

I have studied your case,
These symptoms are adverse effects of statins medication.
you may have to wait till effects resolve, you can reduce symptoms by some lifestyle changes.
Continue nutritional supplement.

Take plenty of water, fluid intake will dilute toxins.
Eat fresh fruit and juice and soup they have anti=oxidant.
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,
Yes you can do exercises like swimming, riding stationary bicycle, but do not overexert yourself.
Take potassium rich diet.
Hot and cold fomentation to leg.

You need to continue you medication for couple of month to see effects.
Add tab methylcobalamine 1500 once day or Inj methylcobalamine1500 mcg once week for 6 weeks.
