kindly visit my clinic for proper evaluation and further management plan.
at certain level,yes it's possible to reduce or control bad cholesterol with diet and exercise alone or increase good cholesterol with exercise but after certain value you have to take medication..muscle pain or knee pain may or may not be due to statin..it needs further questioning and evaluation /history to dig out the exact cause of these pains
I am practicing since 26 years, I never prescribed statins to lower the cholesterol, in my opinion you should be on diet control.
I can help and guide you properly
