What Causes Leg Pain After Taking Lipitor?
I started taking Lipitor about three months ago. I have developed mussel pain in my right leg. I see that is a possible side effect. I will have a blood test in a week and see my doctor in three weeks. Should I wait to have the test and see my doctor?

Hello,
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
