I've been on Vytorin since December. Before that, I was on Zocor, and had been on Lipitor and Crestor before that. With every one of them I've had pain in my lower leg. Doc changed the med after hearing this several years ago--that's why so many have been tried. My doc now (new doc) had me on Zocor last year, but tryglycerides went up so she put me on Vytorin this past December. The leg pain is now almost unbearable, and is now also in my thigh and hip and lower back. My doc diagnosed bursitis and sent me to physical therapy. After 6 weeks of PT, the therapists decided they weren't doing me any good, as the pain never subsided, so said I should go back to my doctor. But I read these remarks last Thursday and decided to stop the Vytorin immediately. I'm still having all the pain, and wondering how long before I might feel some relief. Plan to double my Omega 3 pills in the meantime.
