General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Try stopping the lipitor for a wk or two and see if the pain subdue, if so then you have your answer. Then you can change it to Crestor which probably will have lesser chances of getting muscle aches. Don't use any over the countrr pain killers because they are usually not effective in treating pain caused by Lipitor.
