Could The Intake Of Lipitor Cause Tarsal Tunnel In My Feet?
Hello: I am a 61 year old woman, 5 6 , 148 pounds. I have been taking 10mg Lipitor for about 3 years. I m very worried about the diabetes risk as well as the possible link between tendon/ligament damage..I have been dealing with Plantar Fascitiis (painful heels) for 18 months & recently diagnosed with tarsal tunnel in both feet. I have been a very active person until recently due to the foot ailments getting worse. Do you feel the Lipitor has a link to my feet concerns?

Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
In my opinion lipitor could cause spasms in your muscloskeletal system and that may vary from person to person but with your past history of plantar fasciitis i think it definetly have alink with your tarsal spasms .
Lipitor side effects include arthralgia, diarrhea, and nasopharyngitis. Other side effects include: urinary tract infection, insomnia, limb pain, muscle spasm, musculoskeletal pain, myalgia, and nausea. See below for a comprehensive list of adverse effects.
