Question: I have been having bad pain in left side of neck where apparently as lordosis is located, Doc out of town no one else to ask if important, Thank you
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I carefully read your question and would explain that the neck pain seems to be related to the chronic degeneration son your cervical spine. A bulging disk can not be excluded. So, I would recommend holding a cervical collar until consulting with your doctor. It will help relieve the pain. A cervical spine CT scan may be needed. I would recommend taking acetaminophen for the pain. It has no interactions with your current therapy. Regarding statins, I would recommend checking your liver and muscular enzymes periodically. Stopping for a short time (a month) and restarting in low doses and increasing slowly may help avoid these adverse effects related to statins. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,
