I have been on Vytorin for about 2 years. Before the drug, I had not aches or pains. My cholesterol levels are good now but the quality of my life is not. I feel as if my joints have aged 30 years over the past two. Lower back pain has caused me to see chiropractors, physical therapists, and surgeons. Now, my feet are hurting so badly that I can hardly walk. I don't know if it's related, but since I've been taking vytorin, my 2nd toe on both of my feet has become crooked and it almost on top of my big toe. I've spoken to my doctor today once again with all these concerns and will be discontinuing the drug for a week to see if these horrible symptoms disappear.

I am also on vytorin but have not had these side effects; however, I have had side effects such as these from other statins and now have had them from Welchol - another drug for high cholesterol. I think the Welchol added to the Vytorin is what gave me the muscle problems. I really hope that the pains and aches go away! I know how upsetting this side effect can be as I had it for years from Mevacor before I stopped taking it.
