I was put on Lipitor about 1 year ago and the dosage was put up to 40mg about 3 months ago. My hands went numb and tingling about that time and I never thought that it was the lipitor. I've gone to a couple drs and a chiropractor and no one thought that it was lipitor. They are convinced that its carpal tunnel and that I should have surgery. Now I have swelling in my hands and legs along with aches and pains and I've comvinced that its the lipitor. I've been off it now for about 5 weeks and still have the swelling and tingling. Has anyone else have these symptons and for how long? Also my Dr. wants me to take Zetia for the cholestoral but I'm afraid to take anything. Any suggestions!!!
