I was prescribed red yeast rice by a heart doctor, and I started getting pain in my left leg. I was asked to stop RYR. The pain used to throb while i took RYR. Now that I have stopped RYR, the pain in my left leg persisits and mostly when I lie down to sleep, hence preventing my falling asleep and when I wake up the pain is still there. It goes down once I start to move around. RaniView Thread
