Pain in shoulders symptoms and conditions

I only take it occasionally when I have severe muscle spasms/severe pain in shoulders, neck and back but have noticed when I take it, I immediately begin having hives, INTENSE itching all over and I do mean all over, even my scalp and inside of my ears itch!

Drives me crazy! Keeps me up all night scratching.

Other than that, I haven't noticed any side effects but the itching/hives drives me nuts!

42 Year old male; Active, have been on Lipitor 9 months. Started back on the drug last spring, Ride wave runners every weekend, thought I've had whiplash for months, extremely sore/stiff neck, severe muscle pain in shoulders and neck I am convinced its Lipitor not whiplash. Only advice my doctor can give is "see a Chiropractor", no help! I am stopping Lipitor right now and will await changes, Cannot believe after multiple visits to my doctor concerning my shoulder/neck issue he never once considered Lipitor. After doing an internet search for muscle pain, I stumbled across Lipitor's relationship to muscle pain. If my pain stops I will be very grateful.
