Nuke, I had the same problem taking Lipitor for about 10 yrs. I saw CaptainBeer taking Livalo+V, I asked my doc to prescribe Livalo and I'm taking it for over a yr now. I'm feeling lot better thou the copay is like $30/month supply compared to $5 generic Lipitor- no muscle pain anymore - its worth to save my liver rather. I'm taking V off label since Marine approval. I'm feeling really great.
I took both Lipitor & Crestor with sever leg cramps. Switched to Lavalo, problem solved. Also tried VASCEPA alone. That didn't work. TC, LDL crept back up. Went back to Lavalo/VASCEPA combo. Now my numbers are 48% better than Statin alone. VASCEPA really does supercharge statins especially Lavalo.
