Hi @dancer1967,
I agree with Teresa's insight that statins may cause pain, stiffness, swelling, or weakness. Here is some more information about Atorvastatin from Mayo Clinic: http://mayocl.in/2ta5KuK
You may also be interested in reading some of the other discussions, where you’ll meet @sjpphil @rabbit10 @timmckinney @briansr @susanjomu @jackj, all of whom have posted about possible side effects of statins:
Is there any connection with statin use and neuropathy? http://mayocl.in/2tv65ry
Supplements vs statins - which is more effective? http://mayocl.in/2sGMnfy
@winning, I noticed that you too have written about your experience with Lipitor; do you have any suggestions for @dancer1967?

If my cholesterol is way down why would I have to keep taking unless it starts going up? I go to dr next week.

i stopped satins because of their effect on stem cells. Now i am back 3 days a week, but lots of biking, gardening my weight is going down and that is hard to do when you get older. Down 8 poiunds in lst 3 weeks , goal is 10 more by end of summer, then its new clothes so my pants don't fall off.
