I have been on Lipitor for several years now, I am 54 year old female, had heart attack at 47 and at 49 triple by-pass, have diabetes and high blood pressure all under control. For the last 4 or 5 years have been having severe hip and leg pain, worse when laying down, doc finally sent me to specialist and he gave me cortisone shot which did not help. In the last few months my arms have been very painful, along with both my legs . My doc will say it is something else and wont test me, cause after all he wont even take me off Avandia which causes heart attack and has been all over the news lately. so he surely wont believe this.

Why don't you take yourself off it for 4 days and see if there ios a difference. I noticed an improvment after being off Lipex for 2 days --- I could actually walk, good luck
