Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
You might have consulted an orthosurgeon for muscle ache related problem for which he might have thought that Atorlip (atorvastatin) is the cause. As the orthosurgeon has thought, statins tend to produce severe myalgia's is some people.
But as you suffer from TIA, you are not supposed to stop either Atorlip or Deplatt which may show serious consequences.
I suggest you to consult your treating doctor and discuss the issues.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
