  • Muscle pain in legs

    My husband finished his BCG treatments in November . He has his first cystoscope after his BCGtreatments were done on Dec 21 ,dr said everything looked good. My question is he has started having leg /muscle pain . Can this be from the BCG treatments and if it is will it go away ? His primary had also changed his cholesterol medication from Simvastatin to Atorvastatin. Which I read can cause muscle pain , primary took him off the Atorvastin for two weeks to see oh the leg pain goes away. HELP, I am a nervous wreck this poor wonderful man needs answers I wish I had them to give him.
    Thank you for any inside you might be able to give me

    It is much more likely that something other than BCG is the cause of this. Especially since Atorvastin is known to cause muscle pain. His primary care doc seems to be on top of this.
