I'm pretty sure my PN was caused by lipitor; however, it came on so gradually that when I finally realized I had a problem, so much time had elapsed since I began the lipitor that I didn't even consider it to be the cause. My daughter-in-law alerted me to it when she read an article in The Peoples Pharmacy column which appears weekly in our local newspaper.

I have since mentioned it to my first neurologist, a cardiologist, and of course my primary physician, all of whom "have never heard of statins causing PN."
