Does Lipitor Cause Immobility In The Legs?
I have been taking lipitor since 2012 after I had one stent in my heart. Since then I have lost all the muscles in my legs and can hardly walk. I have been doing physical theraphy for 3 years without any good results. I have been falling a lot and had all kind of MRIs with no results about my falls. Have been to Emory in Atlanta and Mayo in Fla. All the neurologist I have seen can t seem to find an answer. They have ruled out tias, epilepsy. seizures , and etc. I have felt all along the lipitor I am on is part of my problem. What do you think and has anyone else had these problems\
