I have taken Lipitor for 4 years. Two months ago, my walk became off balance. Soon after I began to have sever muscle aches and weakness. I have low back and hip pain, upper shoulder & arm weakness and difficulty holding a pencil. I have been walking with a cane and sometimes need a walker. I have been unable to work for the last 6 weeks. My doctor continues to say it is not the lipitor because side effects happen within the first few months. Only after finding this website am I convinced this is the problem. I took myself off lipitor 6 weeks ago and have had some improvement, but have a long way to go. Is there anything I can do to reverse any of these problems?
