Hi, @tucsonbob - I'm sorry to hear about your recent stroke.

Glad to hear you are now out of the hospital. The tightness and soreness on the side affected by the stroke, in addition to the pain with a deep breath, sound very uncomfortable.

I thought some Mayo Clinic information on atorvastatin (Lipitor) might be useful, perhaps especially the listing of side effects in this article:

- Atorvastatin
US Brand Name Atorvaliq, Lipitor
https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/atorvastatin-oral-route/description/drg-20067003
Have you already stopped taking the Atorvastatin (Lipitor), tucsonbob? If so, are you feeling any different?

Thank you for the insight. I contacted my PC & he pulled me off for a couple weeks. In just 3 days some off the soreness to my ribs & neck stiffness is better. I think the problem is with the med. I also started PT & thought I might have overdone it. I have backed off PT as well. Regardless, it is better. Again - thanks for the info.
