I took Atorvastatin Calcium (Lipitor) for many years with no obvious problems. When I hit 60, I got muscle pain so bad I could hardly get up after I put my socks on. Lipitor gone...pain gone. It’s called statin induced myopathy. No statin for me ever again. Oh and then there is the brain fog.

Same with me. After a few years with no apparent adverse effects I developed muscle problems. Took out my left arm, abdominal, right leg, and also my lower back. The leg muscle asymmetry destroyed my walking gait, which I never fully recovered.
