I brought it to my doctors attention and they thought it was due to taking lipitor. I went off of it and the pain disappeared gradually. Lately, I have been getting this pain again and I'm not taking any rx statins, only a natural one called policosanol. Since I was diagnosed with FMS, I figured that this could also be associated with that and I've just recently discovered that I have a herniated disc at C5-6, so I seem to have a lot of overlapping stuff going on and its become increasingly difficult to tell what is related to what.
So, if this sounds familiar to anyone, please share or point me in a different direction please. Also note that two rheumatologists didn't find any indications of arthritis, via bloodwork or exam.
Thanks to all, Ellena

Hello Ellena,
I too had some serious issues with Liptor, but I refuse to take anything for the cholesterol.
In regards to your neck and the numbness in your hands. I would talk to a neurologist if you haven't already. This sounds like it could be a pinched nerve. I am not a doctor, but I had pinched a nerve in the past and that made my fingers tingly for quite a long time until the inflamation went down.
