Walking on cobblestones symptoms and conditions

I've been taking Lipitor 40 mg. for over a year. A few months after, I started to notice my ankles were swelling a little bit. I attributed it to the warmer summer weather in Florida. It continued through the winter along with pins & needles on my soles and heels, and my doctor said it wasn't caused by Lipitor. After a 10 hr. flight to Europe in May, my ankles & feet were extremely swollen and painful. It hurt to just touch my ankles and feet. Even my toes were swollen. Bought compression stockings but it did not help. Walking on cobblestones was unbearable. I took my last Lipitor pill on May 30th.
Ankle pain is gone and the swelling has reduced a little but the pins & needles feeling is still here. Ankles look good in the a.m. but as the day progresses, the swelling increases. I don't know what to think! My only choice, I feel, is to wait it out and hope the swelling & tingling goes away. Anyone else with these side effects?
