Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to side effects of Atorvastatin. The symptoms will go away gradually after stopping the medication.
Meanwhile, to treat the pain you can use anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
