Like Bill, I am searching for an answer as to how to relieve the pain that still continues after being off Lipitor for 7 months. I now have pain in arms as well as hips and legs and even my fingers. are swollen, stiff and painfulI. I got a long acting cortisone shot today and hopefully it will help for awhile. I was on for 3 years and cpk was elevated slightly so doctor finally listened to my complaints and took me off. Has anyone finally gotten relief over a period of time. I would like to hope so.
