About 6 months after starting atorvastatin, my thigh muscles were so weak I couldn't genuflect at church and I had to pull myself upstairs using the handrails. This was abnormal for me since I typically jogged up the stairs. It NEVER occurred to me this was a side effect of the statin. I only put 2 and 2 together after the neurologist who was performing my EMG on my legs asked me if I was on a statin. You see, I lost my balance one afternoon when the heel of my boot went off the edge of the sidewalk I was walking on. I went down HARD on the asphalt of the parking lot. Thank goodness I wasn't seriously hurt. My family doctor told me to stop atorvastatin.
