I STARTED TAKING THE GENERIC VERSION OF LIPOTOR (AVASTORSTATIN) ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO AFTER HEART ATTACK, AND RECENTLY HAVE BEEN HAVING NECK PAIN (MUSCLE PAIN) BURNING SENSATION IN RIGHT ARM, ALMOST AS THOUGH I STRAINED A TENDON LIFTIONG WEIGHTS AND I HAD A CHARLIE HORSE IN MY RIGHT CALF MUSCLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE (I M 50). THE HOSPITALIST PUT ME ON 80MG AVASTORSTATIN ONE TABLET A DAY IN ADDITION TO EFFIENT, MOTOPOROL AND LISINIPRIL. I STOPPED TAKING AVASTORSTATING LAST NIGHT UNTIL I CAN TALK TO CARDIOLOGIST. ANY ADVISE WOULD BE HELPFUL
Dear patient you are suffering from acute cervical radiculopathy due to nerve compression at the cervical disc. Atorvastatin is not related to this. This may have happened during weight lifting.  I would advise avoiding any further weight lifting. Start tab regain x 75 mg two times a day plus tab me Chat Doctor.  This we help I'm reducing inflammatory pain. If not relieved with this medicine, visit to neurophysician is recommended.
