Hi
yes dera
myopathy is one of the most common side effect of statin
i would suggest you to lower the doses of crestor or ask your cardiologist to prescribe you with other antilipid drugs like niacin , however if the pain is not much in that case you can try crestor for 1 month , it takes approx a month to the body to get adopted to statins, and as the body adapts to statins the muscle pain will go away.
answer to you question is yes its side effect of statin.
