All of the statins are the same. Go to www.lipitor.com and you will see MANY of the side effects. The drs. and the drug co.'s have a HUGE racket. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38830?item=16927 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 20:32:48 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38830?item=16945 I have never taken statins - nor would I.

I saw my xrays and most of my cartilage was still there with "some" arthritis. The pain in both hips was cruel and I was expecting the other hip to be replaced, which showed some arthritis, lots of my other joints w http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38830?item=16969 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 14:56:44 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/38830?item=16971 Everyone's responses seem to be saying the same thing.
