No, I didn't have them before I had a heart attack. It's been explained away as diabetic neuropathy, which is possible. For some reason, my blood sugar level shot up at about the same time I had the heart attack. That could be as a result or it could have been a contributory cause. Nobody really knows.
I've had hospital tests to check my circulation (apparently there's no problem), so it would appear to be neurological. Unfortunately, my GP doesn't know what's causing it and Covid has meant that I haven't been able to get hospital appointments or any continuity of care. There's now a ban on taking bloods except for life-threatening emergencies because there is a shortage of bottles for blood tests.
I've had blood tests in the past, which showed a shortage of folate, but no plasma Vit B12 shortage. It could be that I have enough circulating Vit B12 but am not absorbing it because I take metformin for diabetes. I really need to see somebody who knows what they're talking about, but it's been impossible over the last 18 months.
Nevertheless, it does seem that statins haven't caused the pains and cramps. I'm not starting them again unless my cholesterol increases. I might not be so adamant about statins if I had the levels of some people on here.
