I started taking Lipitor, and within a month or so, I started noticing pain in my thigh, then in my upper arm. Not reading the side effects, I did not realize it was the lipitor. When I mentioned it to my doctor, he immediately told me it was the lipitor, and suggested I take one every other day. It did not stop the pain. I have been off Lipitor for 2 weeks now, and I still have the pain in my upper thigh and arm. I wonder how long this is going to last, and nothing helps the pain, not asperin, advil, nothing. I am going to try my best to change my diet, and take the omega 3 capsules, then see what happens when I go back for tests. I do not know what this drug is doing to our body's, but i don't like it. This scares me.
