3 years ago I started taking Atorvastatin. Shortly later I noticed my right foot feeling numb and cold. About a year later my left started doing the same. I stopped taking it to see if it will reverse back to normal.

Have you told your doctor you stopped taking Atorvastatin due to the neuropathy symptoms?
