high cholesterol
"I've been on Lipitor (Atorvastin) 40mg for about 6 years and complained about leg cramps for 5 of those years.   All I kept hearing was the "low on potassium"  with never a solution.   The cramps have been unrelenting and at times, all day long.   Legs, feet, toes, fingers.   Talking to a friend about this the other day, she said she had to stop taking Lipitor due to leg cramps.   Well, knock me down.   I never associated this cramping with my cholesterol medication.   I stopped taking it a week ago and haven't had one single cramp!    Now I have to find another cholesterol medication but it sounds like all of them can have this side effect."
