Can Gemfibrozil And Atorvastatin Be Taken Together?

good evening, I take atorvastin and gemfibrizil for my triglycerides when I got sick they were over 5,000. I am now having terrible sciatic and pirformis muscle pain and have been seeing a chiropractor. I just did research and learned I should not take the medicine together. I called my dr but was told I could not leave a message for him I will need to make an appointment, they could not tell me if I should continue to take the medicine. I was told to not stop taking it when I started it that it was very important. I am probably not making sense I am very concerned.
