I've recently been diagnosed with high cholesterol (first time ever in my life) I don't particularly understand the levels but it's 7 something. My gp has put me onto Lipitor at the starting dose of 40mg my next blood test is in November 2019 ish. I'm only experiencing pain in one heel on my right foot (nowhere) else, has anyone else experienced this? And what the outcome was please. Also I've noticed that since I started this medication around 2 weeks ago I have not started my period
