I am a 47yo male, I had 4 hearts placed in 10/06 they put me on plavix and lipitor 40mg. I exercised daily- cycled 40 miles a day, I can not do that now. I have bad back pain and chest pain (plavix) the cardiologist did a second stress test in 12/06 and it was clean, the lipitor and plavix are the issue and at this point I have no choice other than to live with it or take the risk of clotting these medicated stents.....any thoughts please let me know.

Consider discontinuing the lipitor and taking another cholesterol lowering medication. This is most likely a lipitor side effect.
