Lipitor and abit

I have been taking lipitor for the last 2 and a half years of 40 mg. Since taking the drug, I am having cramps on my legs. First I thought it was more of not drinking enough water but lately it is not the case. I drink more than 8 glasses of water including green tea. LAtely I am having severe cramps with lipitor. The only drug I take and I try to avoid any other drugs for any pains. I am 43 years and run 15 to 20 miles weekly.

I am abit worried that it might be Lipitor for the cause.

Thank you. nithy

this is on behalf of my husband he was on zecor for about 2years and then his gp put him on 40mg of atorvastatin it was then he started to complain about pain in his legs but years ago he did suffer aspell with his legs so he just thought he was having abit of athritis he is 53 and as the weeks have gone by he can bearly walk because of pain in his calf thigh and lower back his cpk and liver blood results are raised he is waiting for an appointment with a rheumatologist on the 10 of august but he is due to take a hgv goods medical in september to renew his liscence but Ican not see that he will be well enough to do a tread mill test which is part of his medical he has stopped takeing the 40mg of atorvastatin after reading so many other people who are suffering with the same side affects he was defenately well before his dose was increased we are worried to death about his symtoms and he will proberly lose his job also he is irratable and his memory does seem to be affected no one seems to know how long the symtems go on for or is the damage permerment

my husband has been on atorvastatin for about 10 months 40 mg before them he was on simsatavinfor about 2 years when he first changed to atorvastatin he noticed his legs were aching but put it down to just age and abit of athritis but has the months have gone on he can hardly walk with pain in his hip and both calf and thigh muscles his ckp levels are raised and the liver aspartate transaminaseslightly raised after what we read on the internet he decided to stop the atorvastatin 20 days ago he is very worried because he is meant to take a hgv medical in september which involves a treadmill test any advice would be welcome.
