I took 20 mg. of Lipitor for about 6 months only, severe pain in my right forearm and right bicep, Muscle weakness in both arms, Neck pain developed and pains in my feet. I quit the Lipitor when I read that the muscle damage could become permanent. the pain in my feet continues and I quit taking Lipitor about one year ago. As I walk, the pain eases up and goes away. It is when I am in a resting position and then start to walk. The first few steps really hurt. I also have calf pain. Will this ever end? Is there a way to speed up the healing process? I guess I don't have a lot to complain about but I hate most meds because of these side effects. Thanks for any feedback, Juleeegirl

Good that you stopped taking this dangerous drug. I stopped taking this poison for over a year now and I still have side effects. I take several natural products to help it. I have read it takes 1-2 years to heal your body/mind . . .unfortunately, I have also read . . . .some people have permanent damage. That's why I am still angry with the drs. and drug co's.
