Been off the Atorvastatin now for just over a month and things were improving.  However, I think the damage has been done.  Yesterday went for a nice walk around the garden centre after lunch, but within about 15 minutes I started getting pain in my left kidney area.  Good job I had a trolley to hold on to.  It eased later on with the aid of some paracetomol.

Today, I have just changed the bed and I think I have pulled every single muscles under and around my rib cage and again have pain in my left kidney area.  

Shortly after coming off the pills, I suffered with a severe kidney infection which turned out to be e.coli.  Fortunately that has gone now, but I am getting more and more angry that my day to day health has been affected in this way.
