Are statins dangerous for the joints?

Statins are not inherently dangerous for the joints. However, they can sometimes cause muscle pain in some individuals, leading them to reduce physical activity. If someone is experiencing muscle pain while taking statins, it is common to temporarily stop taking them for a few weeks to see if the pain improves. It is important to do this with the guidance and approval of a pharmacist or doctor, as timing is crucial and certain medical conditions may require a different approach.
