Pains in Legs and thighs arms and feet

Good that you stopped taking Lipitor . . . all statins are DANGEROUS drugs that cause MANY side effects. I am a victim of Lipitor, so, unfortunately, I know about this POISON. The drs. and the drug co's are doing a huge racket on the anti-cholesterol drugs . . . . it is all about big $$ . In reality, your mind/body NEEDS cholesterol to function properly. DON'T LET YOUR DR. TO CON YOU.

Yes, it could be from the Lipitor. And lipitor will not increase your "good" HDL cholesterol. If anything, it will take good cholesterol to lower levels. Statins work by inhibiting the mevalonate metabolic pathway, and also block the production of CoQ10 and other vital products from this pathway. According to the CDC, half of heart attacks happen to people with low cholesterol. At least with statins, you can chose which half you want to be in. Bobby

I know that I felt as though I had arthritis whilst on Lipitor and now Ezetrol for high cholesterol. They raised my liver function test, and my muscles were so painful (like electric shocks zapping them in my back and shoulder) then I started to experience cramping in my calf muscle and even my back muscle. I have been taking TUMERIC (spice) which I read is a powerful antioxidant, anti inflammatory, and cleanses the liver.....I has worked for me I now i have no pain, whilst taking Ezetrol. TUMERIC...1 teaspoon in morning and 1 teaspoon evening...tastes disgusting...but for fear of pain returning, I keep taking it...now I buy empty gel capsules from chemist and fill them with Tumeric and take 2 caps morning and 2 caps evening.....check with your chemist and health food store first and even do a Tumeric search on internet...hope this helps you.
