Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.

Crestor is the brand name of rosuvastatin. Rosuvastatin can cause muscle pain. You should not stop any of the drugs with out consulting your treating physician.
Since he has diabetes and renal disease, he might require multiple drugs including OHA(oral hypoglycemic agents) and drugs like captopril.
Consult a physician and get evaluated. He will direct you accordingly.
I can read your queries well, you can ask direct question through the site.
Thanks
