Been taking Lipitor for several years. I am 51 Tired all the time. Don't feel like exercising at all. since I got a flu shot have been experiencing sharp pain in upper arm near and including shoulder. Taking Lipitor, 40 mg qd. The arm pain feels like it's near the bone. The only other explanation for the pain I can think of was the nurse hit a nerve when giving me the flu vaccine. Otherwise I fear it may be from the Lipitor. I told my doctor about it. He made no response whatsoever. not even to suggest any further tests, x-rays etc. to see what might be causing the pain. Gave me free samples of...you guessed it...more Lipitor. At next appointment I will tell him the pain is still there (3 months). If he does nothing then I will stop taking the Lipitor and take my chances.
