Anyone have physical reactions to Atorvastatin?

I am statin intolerant. I tried several kinds, low dose, 3 times a week and I had terrible pain all over. I had trouble rolling over in bed, getting out of bed, going up stairs, exercising. I couldn’t lift my young grandkids. I went to PT, OT and used heat and ice. I was only in my mid 60’s. After two years, my doctors listened and allowed me to stop. My recovery was slow, but I now get out of bed totally pain free most days. I can exercise, do yoga, and play with the kids. No more therapy! Unfortunately I had an allergic reaction to Repatha, so I’m trying some supplements and hoping for the best.

@con123 can I ask, how "slow" was your recovery? I ask because my cardiologist said I could try being off of atorvastatin for a month and see what happens with my cholesterol. Do you think that's enough time to see a difference?
