Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood [1]. There is limited information available on whether Lipitor affects joint mobility during stretching. However, a study published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology suggests that statin use, including Lipitor, may be associated with an increased risk of developing osteoarthritis [2]. Osteoarthritis is a condition that affects the joints and can cause stiffness and limited mobility [3].
It is important to note that joint mobility can also be affected by other factors such as age, injury, and underlying medical conditions. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized medical advice regarding joint mobility and Lipitor use.
