NEW YORK, July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- A new series of personal injury lawsuits
has been filed against Pfizer Inc, charging the giant drug company with
concealing serious and permanent health risks associated with the
blockbuster cholesterol drug Lipitor.

Excerpt:
"
Another plaintiff is Dennis Hickie, 52, vice president of a publiclytraded

company and a former professional soccer player in the

U.K., who took Lipitor to control his high cholesterol. A resident of

Long Island, NY, Mr. Hickie claims that, "the neuropathy and

myopathy caused by the lengthy exposure to Lipitor has created

such damage in my hands, elbows, shoulders, knees and ankles

that exercise is excruciatingly painful and impossible to carry out..

In reality, I have little strength for anything above opening an

envelope.. As an ex-professional athlete, there is nothing more

soul destroying than NOT being able to enjoy all the benefits of

being in peak physical and mental condition."
