Hello,
Allopurinol use if often associated with joint stiffness. So, discuss this further with your caring doctor.
Plus, atorvastatin might cause muscle cramps or even joint stiffness.
To me, should discuss these side effects to your caring doctor to check it out. Perhaps you might need to stop taking allopurinol first, and see if there is any change in your symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
