joint pain in both elbows from taking 20mg of lipitor, I quit taking it may 22, 2009. Doctor say's it's not from the drug. I have been doing the same job for many years and all my problems started when I went on this drug. Being extremely fatigued, muscle aches. Slowly the tiredness has subsided. I can not believe this is not related to lipitor. My doctor has sent me to physical therapy cause the pain from elbow down entire forearms. Anybody have any suggestions on how long till it goes away. I was on this for 4 months.

Yes, this is actually a common problem that many people experience from Statin medications, unfortunately, most doctors are not always familiar with all the issues and side effects that can arise from medications they prescribe.
I can't say for sure that all of your problems were caused by this medication, since I am not a medical professional, but they could have been.
There is also the possibility that they may never entirely go away.
