After taking lipitor 6 weeks, both of my upper arms down to my elbows began to ache 27/7. Some leg and back muscle pain also. My VA doctor took me off lipitor 8 weeks ago. The pain continues. I just started taking 3000 mg Vit. C daily to hopefully lower or eliminate muscle pains. Any one know of a cure for this awful muscle pain? My VA doctor doesn't have a clue what to do for it. ths.

Consider taking co-enzyne Q-10 as Lipitor depletes this enzyme from muscles and this may lead to myalgia(muscle pain).Take 200mg to 600mg/day for 2 weeks and 100mg-200mg thereafter.It was very helpful to me in releiving severe hip pain acused by lipitor and diovan medications.

I hope this is helpful to you.
