I have read that doctors in Sweden believe that Statin drugs which Lipitor is one can cause Neuropathy. When I brought this to the attention of my doctor he changed me to a different type of Statin. Unfortunately it did not change my symptons. There are just too many things that can cause Neuropathy. I got Prostate Cancer about 2 years before I got Neuropathy and some doctors believe there is a connection. If you get away from Lipitor and your symptons deminish let me know.
