Hello Doctor, I Am A Single 67yr Old Male, Never

Hello Doctor, I am a single 67yr old male, never smoked and up till last year, I walked and jogged 7kms daily. I slowed down because I developed "heel spur".
In my recent checkup, my Cholestoral levels were slightly up (my bad cholestoral only) and my Doctor prescribed me with Statins. I started taking these and three weeks later, I experienced neck and shoulder pain.
Are there any side effects I can expect while taking "Statins".
I am watching my diet.....especially reducing my salt intake, nil sugrs....and no red meat. My diet consists of fresh fish, many vegetables .
