Muscle/nerve damage and amnesia as side effects of statins It sounds as though memory problems aren't routinely monitored, and there's no way of telling (or at least nothing that gets used) if there's muscle damage until the patient gets into trouble.

This doesn't prove that statins aren't worth the risks.
