I have been off lipitor for 6 months after 3 years on the drug. I had extreme muscle pain in legs and thighs and a slight raise in cpk test. After 2 months I began to get better but still have pain and weakness in one hip and thigh. The doctor said it is bursitis but I'm wondering if it is permanent from the lipitor. Has anyone had lasting pain and weakness after stopping?
