this out the hard way. Anyway I still question the dosage sizes on the
lipitor since my cholesterol is down from 250 to 91 and LDL is down
from 150 to 46. I just don't think it's all the drug's doing. I think
my exercising and diet changes have a huge impact.

If I go back on statins I am going back in slow doses and having the

I had to try several different statins before I found one that did not
upset
my insides. If the pain comes back you might want to try another
different
statin. I eventually ended up with Lovastatin. If it weren't for that one
I
would not be able to tolerate the other statins.

I hear what you are saying Robert. But what if you were coming off a
visit to CABG and not knowing what the effect on ones health was aside
from being traumatized by open heart surgery. Would it not be difficult
to conclude one needed a different statin now that ones health baseline
had shifted ? Surgery effects me as a write this . Not so much physical
but some how.


Bill

surely what you say has a lot of merit...and could well be your case...

however,,,as Sharon Hope and others have pointed out..."statin" induced pain
is pretty different...tho hard to differentiate if your torn apart sternum
is still in agony..

it may take time to decide if it is post op healing or statin induced...

in either case..mention it to your doc...

recovering from open heart surgery is no walk in the park!!
good luck

I wonder if your statin use is in regards to lab results and I also
wonder if lots of folks come into contact via cardiologists after
surgery like me. The the above entry points are 180 degrees different.

Somehow I believe you have control and I must wait to see what happens.

May matter in regards to trying for best practice.
