Muscle discomfort symptoms and conditions

I have been on lipitor for a little over two years now. I experience extreme joint and muscle discomfort. I am also picking up weight at an alarming rate. No matter what I do to lose the weight, it's not working. I've had several blood tests, but all come back fine..but I know I don't feel well and I'm having trouble remembering things....

Started 10 mgs. about two years ago. Immediately suffered muscle pain front of thighs. Told my Dr. He said it would go away. It eventually did and my levels dropped to 128. My Dr. wanted it to drop to 100 so he increased the dosage to 20 mgs approxiametly 1 week ago. I am experiencing extreme muscle discomfort throughout my legs and back area.

I've been on Lipitor for 4 yrs, 1st on 20mg daily. Cholesterol was lowered but gradual muscle discomfort in thighs. This sympton ignored by doctor. I lowered dose to 20mg every other day, had blood test, then told doc I lowered dose myself.He couldnt argue with the results, which were good. He suggested 10mg daily. Leg cramps intensified after mild exercise. 2 months ago I had a severe attack of cramps in legs and shoulders, appearance of arthritis in hands with some swelling. Difficulty in sitting or getting out of a chair or car. Painful to walk. Felt as is muscles were being stretched taught from bones. I discontinued Lipitor. Some relief noticed in 24 hrs. I have been taking 500mg of naproxin twice daily to get some relief.
