Not sure, but as someone else has reported a possible causal link, I'm thinking my Plantar Fasciitis may have been induced by taking Lipitor 10mg the past year or two. I'm probably going to just cut back to 5 mg, then go off for a month or two and see what happens. I also have some shoulder pain and generic aches that I never did before.

Please inform us as to your success/or lack of it...I too have Plantar Fasciitis for the last year and shoulder pain for several years. I have been on 10mg Lipitor for years. I am now thinking of stopping it completely. My husband also is on 20mg and he has loss of muscle content, weak or achy thighs, etc. We have decided he will cut back on his and hopefully get some relief.
