Based on the information available, there is no specific mention of a "flexibility side effect" associated with Lipitor (atorvastatin). Lipitor is a prescription medication used to treat high cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other heart complications [1].
Common side effects of Lipitor include headache, muscle and joint pain, upset stomach, and cold-like symptoms [1]. Serious side effects may include liver problems, muscle damage, and increased blood sugar levels [1]. However, flexibility side effects are not listed in the FDA-approved label for Lipitor [2].
It is important to consult with a healthcare provider if experiencing any unusual symptoms while taking Lipitor or any other medication. Self-diagnosis and self-treatment based on information found online can be dangerous and should be avoided.
