I am 53 year old male . Had been taking Lipitor 20mg daily for 6 years for heart related problem wthout any side effects for 6 years. In late December my doctor upped my Lipitor dosage to 40mg daily. a few days ago I had pain in index finger of left hand. Gradually this pain pread to all my fingers. Now I have pain in my toes and foot. Hoping that this is side effect of increase in Lipitor rather than anything more serious. Going to doctor tomorrow to get professional opinion.
