Do you find it easier or harder to stretch after taking lipitor?



After reviewing the provided sources, there is no direct information regarding whether it is easier or harder to stretch after taking Lipitor. Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood [1]. Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a disorder that causes an urge to move the legs and can cause discomfort or pain in the legs [2]. One study found that statin use, including Lipitor, was associated with a higher prevalence of RLS in individuals with type 2 diabetes [3]. However, this study did not investigate the relationship between statin use and stretching. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider about any concerns or questions regarding medication use and stretching.
