Hello: I am a 61 year old woman, 5 6 , 148 pounds. I have been taking 10mg Lipitor for about 3 years. I m very worried about the diabetes risk as well as the possible link between tendon/ligament damage..I have been dealing with Plantar Fascitiis (painful heels) for 18 months & recently diagnosed with tarsal tunnel in both feet. I have been a very active person until recently due to the foot ailments getting worse. Do you feel the Lipitor has a link to my feet concerns?
Hi I am Chat Doctor. .  In my opinion Lipitor could cause spasms in your musculoskeletal system and that may vary from person to person but with your past history of plantar fasciitis I think it definitely have link with your tarsal spasms.  Lipitor side effects include arthralgia, diarrhea, and nasopharyngitis. Other side effects include: urinary tract infection, insomnia, limb pain, muscle spasm, musculoskeletal pain, myalgic, and nausea. See below for a comprehensive list of adverse effects.
