Lipitor Caused Permanant Foot Damage

I took Lipitor 15 years ago for 1.5 years. It felt like somebody was burning the spot below my big toe on my right foot. It was happening for a while and I didn't realize that Lipitor was causing it. One day I just decided to stop it and the burning went away. Then again I started taking Lipitor after 15 days to see whether it is causing the problem .Sure enough the burning sensation started again and I knew then that the culprit is Lipitor. After that I stopped it completely and the he burning was gone but the inflammation and swelling on that spot remained permanent till today. As usual doctor said it is not due to Lipitor though my body knows it is. !

Hello, BR! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you've had.

I have to side with you on this, statin drugs have been known to cause some issues that were permanent. It doesn't happen very often, but it has happened.

I can't say that's what caused yours, but it is a definite possibility.

According to other reports documented by the FDA, they have caused nerve damage, rhabdomylosis and neural and muscular cell degeneration.

Is there anything else I can help with?
