I am a 42 year old male who has taken 10mg of Lipitor for nearly 8 years now. For the past 3-4 years now, several times a year I experience a period of a month or more where I have lower back (similar to siatic nerve pain that wraps around waist) and abdominal and kidney pain (that peaks in morning after waking up and getting out of bed), extreme gas and bloating, extreme late afternoon thirst, low urine flow - that my doctor has never yet been able to diagnose or cure. Sometimes I wonder if it is back pain and see a chiropractor, other times I wonder if it is a Bladder or Urinary Tract infection. I have seen Doctors for both, but this still happens several times each year. Anyone on Lipitor ever experience and more importantly get a diagnosis and cure for something similar to this? Thank you.
