Question: Can Statins cause hernias?

Postby pgrimm » Wed Mar 05, 2008 11:00 pm

My 64-yr old employee told me yesterday that he is on 40mg of lipitor for four years. You know I talked to him about what I've learned!

Now today he was hospitalized with a strangulated hernia. Any chance these things are related? I'm now suspecting everything wrong with a person on statins is caused by this nasty drug. Am I just paranoid?

That is something we will probably never know. Like I have said, we are chested out of knowing what it natural or statin induced these days but isn't a hernia a muscle tare?
