There are biases in every study whether recognized or not. Family member began taking statins years ago and cholesterol was lowered so Dr issued RX to continue the med. Pharmacist asked patient if any aches and pains were bothering them. Patient mentioned shoulders and arms were very painful. Pharmacist sent patient back to Dr. for labs, liver enzymes were way off. Three different statins were attempted, same result every time.

As an aside, three male friends on a certain medication all developed myelogenous leukemia and expired. Coincidence? (This medication was not a statin.)
