I'm a mid 40's guy from New Zealand who has been recently prescribed (1 month ago) a 20mg tablet of Lipitor per day. I went off Lipex because I was having certain side effects with that paricular drug. For the last 2 week I have had pain in my right leg, knee and right hip that has got progressively worse. When I wake up in the morning and sit on a chair the leg pain is so severe I can only sit for only 30 seconds . When I stand up the hip issue begins...so I'm like a damn Yoyo at times. This has of course affected my work. After reading information here and on other websites I'm gonna quit Lipitor. Just rely on my Low carb diet and exercise, will later see how this affects my cholesterol level. If it reads okay...no more statins for me. Pete
