   My Dr says that my leg pain should be gone if it was being caused by the Lipitor (High Cholesterol board)

2nd August 2005
Quote from clerky96:
I quit taking it in mid March. I still have leg pain. I am not sure that it is not getting worse. I am having blood testing done for muscle tissue in the blood, compression(?I think she said), potassium, & thyroid. If these all come out normal, she wants to talk about Fibromyalgia. :eek: I know that I have read on here that some people have had leg pain for over a year. What do you think?



It depends on how long U took it, plus everyone doesn't get rid of the pain in a certain amount of time, so your dr. is wrong. I was on Lipitor for only 3 months and developed very bad GI problems, and it took them 8 months to get me cleared away. After all that, they shoved me on Baycol, and that is when the aches and pains really started. My dr. even knocked me down to taking it 3 days a week, but I still coulnd't handle it, and my fatique and pains and aches too over 6 months too feel much better.

I'm glad your dr. is doing tests, and hopefully they come back ok. Many on here have taken COQ10 to help with the pains and aches, but it isn't cheap. I believe about 50-100 mgs. is what most folks take.

Good luck with the tests, and hope ya feel better soon.. :wave:
