Aching

I have had aching legs.  I have not run long distance or with great intensity.  I have made sure to get my rest days.  Right now I am blaming it on statins.  I have had high cholesterol forever.  I took statin drugs for a number of years but quit when it was causing muscle aches.  The doctor agreed to let me try going without.  The muscle aches disappeared.  Of course my cholesterol shot up.  I have read a lot about cholesterol and don't know what to believe.  My doctor thinks I need to be on a statin to control the cholesterol.  I don't want to have anything to do with a heart attack or stroke.  So I agreed to start taking a low dose statin again.  I can't prove that the muscle aches are from the statin but I think so.  Need to have a conversation with the doc.
