I am 34 years old and my family has history of heart disease. I went to get checked and doctor put me on lipitor and I have been on it for 3years now and I feel aweful I can't sleep at night and my arms and neck and legs ache like when yI was a child and had growing pains. Recently I have developed pain in my left arm and when I extend my arm and point my thumb down it fells like a burning tearing sensation. A few nights ago I was listening to coast to coast am and they had a guest on who was talking about statin drugs and side effects it was really interesting if anyone is concerned about these side effects I strongly suggest checking out the coast to coast am web site and search for the February 5th show notes.
