Question on Lipitor and Nerve pain

[JEWELSLJ]

I was diagnosed with high cholesterol years ago.  My dr first put me on Vytorin.  I had no problems at all with that med.  Then when the generic for Lipitor came out, she put me on that.  I guess to save me money.  
I was having constant daily headaches.  Neurologist treated it as Migraines.  MRI was normal. Still having some migraines weekly now.  But my neurologist says I'm fine and that I am clear to return to work.  I told him what all else I was feeling in my head and he just blew it off.  Here is the feeling I still feel in my head and neck:
Constant Tingling from the back of my head towards up the top and sides of head.
Burning sensation in the same area.
Scalp is tender to the touch.
Ringing in the ears.
Neck is stiff or tight.
Should I get a second option?  What do you think this is?  Do you think this could be a side effect of Lipito?  Could Lipitor had damaged the muscles around the occipital nerve?  Or could lipitor had damaged the occipital nerve?

I have been taking 80 mg a night since August 2009. My diabetes has gotten worse and worse since starting Lipitor. I have the tenderness around back of neck, head. Muscles hurt.
Please me in mind. I. Think it is hurting more than helping.

Excerpt from Dr Dale Peterson's article "Promoting Vitality and Longevity: Cholesterol Revisited"...

"Anyone who subscribes to the “cholesterol is harmful” hypothesis should be prepared to answer the question, “If cholesterol is so bad, why is the body designed to manufacture so much of it at so many different sites?” Not surprisingly, “cholesterol is harmful” advocates are silent in this regard.

The answer, of course, is that the body is designed to manufacture cholesterol at multiple sites because it needs so much of it for many different reasons. Cholesterol is required to build cell membranes, to produce hormones, to manufacture fat-digesting bile, to make vitamin D, and to process fat soluble vitamins. It is also needed to maintain the myelin sheaths that insulate and protect nerves throughout the body. It is particularly important in preserving brain function."

Excerpt from Dr Greg Emerson's article "Cholesterol Reduction"...

"Remember that these drugs [statins] are often associated with side-effects including nausea, headaches, dizziness, sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunction, fatigue, shortness of breath, memory loss, liver problems, muscle weakness, muscle pain, peripheral neuropathy and cardiomyopathy due to a depletion of Coenzyme Q10.

Recent studies have shown no reductions in death in people over the age of 65 or people with no existing heart disease on statins (regardless of how much their cholesterol was lowered) and no benefit at all in women of any age.

It is very important to understand statistics here and the difference between relative risk and absolute risk reduction. Much of the advertising with statins describe a 36% risk reduction in heart attacks. This is a relative risk reduction. The absolute risk reduction is a decrease from a 3% risk to a 2% risk. In practical terms, this means that in men under the age of 65 with pre-existing heart disease, 100 (the NNT- Number Needed to Treat) have to take a statin for 3 years to prevent 1 heart attack. The other 99 men receive no benefit.

Professor James Wright from the University of British Columbia states that “most people taking statins are taking something with no chance of benefit and a risk of harm.”"
