hello fellow sufferers. I've been taking pilitor for a few years now and for the past year have been at my worst. I cannot stand more than 5 to 10 minutes at a time so taking a walk is out of the question if i dont want to find myself on the ground.I am now forced to walk with a cane because of the severe weekness in my legs, pain in my thighs and back.I have worked on my feet for most of my life therefor have had very strong legs that is until i started having these side effects from lipitor. I've even been to to see many doctors and had x-rays taken and they think its all in my head cause just cant find anything....Some nights are so bad that i scream in my sleep because of the pain, its like my thigh is ripping apart in my leg and its like being on fire.I cannot go on this way i just turned 49 and am house bound because of this. May someone read this and help us asap we are not ginny pigs. Bless you all and thank you.
