If you go off your Lipitor and things improve, maybe it is that but you owe it to yourself to investigate this fully. If you have not had any tests such as MRI's, LP, EMG, blood tests, etc. then ask your Neuro for them. The results can rule out mimics and will give a good indication of maybe what is going on. It may well be that you have MS. Numbness, weakness, balance, fatigue, etc. are classic signs of MS and that is how mine started. - they can be due to other illnesses too. You need a thorough workup and don't let your Neuro put you off. You can be diagnosed at any age even into your 70's. I know many many people in their 40's and fifities with MS. If it is MS you should be on treatment as soon as possible before it progresses further.
Hello there - I also took Lipitor-I had (have )similar your symptoms-
I went to a rheumatologist- a neurologist and had a million blood tests- nothing.I rather doubt they will find arthritis to any extent--hope it goes well for you.
