After being on Lipitor for 2 years I developed tendonitis in my left elbow, eventually tearing it and requiring surgery. One year later I tore the elbow tendon on my right elbow, also requiring surgery. I was 54 years old at the time and in great shape. I have played golf for 20 years without any sign of elbow problems. Now I am sidelined from golf as the surgery to my right elbow has not worked out that well. I have been off Lipitor for over a year and hope someday my symptoms disappear.

I think all of you folks with side affects are are blaming your ills on Lipitor rather than putting the blame where it belongs: on your own mental health. I am a 65 YO male and I have been on Lipitor for more than six years now. I have no side affects, I work out four days per week with cardio and weights and feel that Lipitor should be added to the public water supply. My total cholesterol has gone from the high two hundreds to under one-forty on a single daily dose of 10mg. All of you hypochondriacs get a grip.
