muscle pain. severe joint pain in the shoulders and knees. pain and cramping in my hands and lower legs. numbness in all of my finger tips and toes. wake up on and off all night long due to numbness in my hands and pain in shoulders some nights worse than others. i've been off lipitor since 7/1/04 and the muscle pain is gone and my knees are almost back to my norm. both of my shoulders are still very messed up. have constint shoulder pain more in the left than the right. still have finger and hand numbness on and off all day and night. worse at night. but even these pains are a lot less now then they were while on lipitor. i'm hoping that there is not any perminent damage. while first taking lipitor and i noticed these changes i told my doctor and he told me that this had nothing to do with the lipitor. it was just age. | constint shoulder pain | arthralgia |

after being on lipitor for only two months, i was experiencing debilitating muscle pain in my arms, legs and back. additionally, i was experiencing severe cramping in my legs and back. the good news was that my cholesterol dropped from 269 to 160. the bad news was that long term, it would likely impact the heart muscle. once the doctor saw the cpk levels on my next liver function test, he called (himself) and said to stop taking lipitor immediately. interestingly, niaspan had the same effect. i'm currently trying a therapy of 6000 mg. of vitamin c daily. an interesting site for information on this is www.newmediaexplorer.org/sepp/2003/11/09/ vitamin_c_beats_statins_in_cholesterol_heart_disease.htm and http://www.cqs.com/lipitor.htm. i'll post again after i have my next cholesterol test (2/7) and see what the vitamin c has done. i'm not certain that any of the statins are worth the risk. | debilitating muscle pain in my back | myalgia |

swollen and stiff knees and elbows, mental distress, others that i am now only becoming aware of after reading many of these others testimonials. after being on lipitor for 2 years my knees and elbows were getting increasingly stiff and sore. i'm a painter by trade and largely attributed it to over use of my joints. repetitive stress syndrome. i went to my doctor, he sent me to an arthritis specialist, i had x-rays. nothing was found. i felt like an old (older) man during this period, i thought i was finished in terms of my trade and the things i enjoy most, like hiking. my prescription of lipitor ran out a few months after these tests were done. i didn't bother refilling it right away and noticed my knees and elbows felt better. i renewed the prescription and no sooner had i started taking it again that i felt the stiff joints return. so i stopped taking it, the stiffness goes away, started again, stiffness returns. after telling my doctor this story, right away he says oh yeah, that's probably right pardon!? so why didn't you mention that possibility before all the tests? (luckily since i live in canada, these tests were all covered by our health care system) i didn't make the connection to lipitor earlier because stiff, swollen joints were not listed as one of the side effects. sore muscles yes, stiff swollen joints, no. i can see the class action suits coming against pfizer. | elbows stiff | joint stiffness |

shoulder and neck muscle pain, tender joints, wrist pain, fogginess, depression when not getting enough rest, possible insomnia. i took lipitor for 7 years due a genetic form of high cholesterol. controlled cholesterol levels very well. never thought it was doing me harm, until my cardiologist bumped me from 40mg to 80mg. had muscle pain that would not go away, memory loss (could not remember names or words at times), trouble sleeping (possibly-i've always had some insomnia). symptoms eased at 40mg again, but did not go away. still felt like an 'old man'. went off the drug after much thought, all physical symptoms disappeared, physiological problems eased. tried crestor but it was far worse for physical symptoms. about to try low does of pravichol and work up from there. | tender joints | arthralgia |

after about 10 weeks on lipitor i suddenly developed pain/cramps in both my legs, the left being slightly worse than the right. the cramps and tightness was sporatic from ankles, to calf to top of thigh then back of thigh, it didn't make sense as i hadn't done anything out of the ordinary to be feeling this way and it felt different than a overworked muscle type of pain. although the lipitor brought my level from 206 down to 143 within 6 weeks from what i have been reading i don't think i will begin taking it again. i stopped about a week ago, although my dr didn't think that was the cause, however, nothing else made sense. the pain/tightness is somewhat better than it was 3 weeks ago, but still giving me problems. | pain | pain |

some diarrhea, some constipation, fatigue. it works very well for the heel; i couldn't walk on it very well before taking it. i take 75mg.twice a day. also have severe osteoarthritis in the knees and hands, but it doesn't seem to relieve that pain at all. | fatigue | fatigue |

after only 3 weeks on 10 mg of lipitor i called my dr to discontinue. i have recently begun a workout regimine 6 days a week doing elliptical training and weight training. after workouts i would be so tired to the point where i was going to bed at 8pm (i'm normally a night-owl). i was mostly feeling drained and tired which was unusual for me and didn't feel that way previous to taking the drug. i have also experienced tingling or a sense of my hand being asleep (example: if you lay on it wrong and it's numb-like). i have only been off one day. but have already slept better than i had in the 3 wks on it. don't know if it worked to lower my cholesterol since i wasn't on it for the 6 wks to do the bloodwork. i am going to try to lower it naturally through exercise and diet instead of the drug. not sure it's worth the side effects. stay in tune with your body. i elected to discontinue immediately with onset of side effects. will consider other alternatives. | numb-like | hypoaesthesia |
