Is a sore shoulder a side effect of atorovastatin? Iv been bothered with mines for months now. Just thought it was a muscular thing

Atorvastatin is not the best. I suffered really badly with muscle pain in my leg. Told GP and. He immediately said that will be the Atorvastatin causing it. He moved me on to Rosuvastatin and a year down the line I have no problems at all. Mention it when you are your Doc.

This statin did not agree with my husband. Now on Rusovastatin and has been fine with it, but go back to GP and discuss.
