I took Lipitor for just about 2 years. Suddenly I had real bad pain in my hip and calf. This pain was so bad I would cry. I would go to bed at night around 9:30 pm. I would not be able to go to sleep without rolling back and forth in bed trying to ease the pain some what before I could go to sleep. Then I would wake about 3:00 am with pain in my hip and calf. I would not be able to go back to sleep without getting out of bed and walking around my house for at least an hour to help relieve the pain. I could not lay down or set in any chair. All I could do is stand up, rock back and forth or walk to try to ease the pain. This pain very seldom went completely away. I stopped taking Lipitor 3 weeks ago and the pain is nearly gone. I still have pain but I don't cry with it anymore. I still have pins and needle filling in my hands and feet. I memory lost but not as bad as it was. I'm not near as tired during the day. I'm starting to fill better. I only hope I keep getting better. I was going down fast.
