Lipitor and i can walk

After one week on lipitor the muscles in my knees gave out. My doctor sent me to a physical therapist...no help. I'm going off of this medication today and hope I can walk again without pain.

I have been on Lipitor for about 3 years. I have constant pain in my upper, outer arm area. Also when I rub this area I feel lumps. I'm having knee problems which I know is somewhat related to arthritis but the pain changes. Some days when I get up from sitting any length of time I have to wait until the bend of my legs relaxes or whatever it does before I can walk. Thinking this might be the hamstring area. Still taking this drug but am seriously considering stopping. So glad I found this site and have emailed it to my friends who are also on this drug.

Had a heart attack? 10 years ago, now 57.
Cardioligist wanted bad C under 100. 2 years ago
80 mg Zocor was really killing me. Lost taste
sensation, fingers got arthritic?, muscle cramps.
But, bad C went to 90. I felt like ***.
1 year ago I stopped Zocor, finger movement
came back, cramping stopped, still can't drink
cola as taste is still affected.
Dr started Zetia (non Satin) which works in the
gastric track. Side affect minimal and is minor gas
at nite and stool slightly loose. bad C went to 120
but Dr now wants bad C to 70 or less, as new studies
show.
Put me on Lipitor 10 mg a month or so ago along with
the Zetia. All fine till last week... Now upset stomach
all day, with Nausea and sometimes dry heaves. Head
light headed, dizzy like in a fog, and can't walk without
holding on to wall. Outside I must look like a drunk.
Cramping on finges is returning. Had 2 strips bacon one
morning and remembered it through belches all day
with aggrivated symptoms.
I got the message.... And STOPPED the LIPITOR 4 days
ago and no more nausea, I can walk without loosing balance
and finger movement slowly returning. I can live with the
vivid dreams......
