Hello, I m presently taking atorvastatin 10 mg, however, I m have been having muscle spasms, such as my toes bending down, or my hand bending down, or along my sides having catches in them. Is this a side effect of taking this medication. I had acute bronchial problems and did not take it with the other medications the doctor prescribed for me to get over the bronchitis. I have been back taking this medication, but when I have skipped a dose, I do not seem to have the muscle problems. Can you give me any advise on what is actually causing the muscle pains? Thanks, Judy
