What Causes Pain In The Arms And Legs While On Crestor?

I have been taking a low dose of Crestor for 3-4 wks. I have in the past had a low tolerance to statin drugs. Hence, I am taking 1/2 tab every other day. I have developed aching in my back arms and legs. Feel very tired. In the past my liver enzymes elevate so I am wondering if that is what is happening now. Had mono/hepatitis 30 yrs ago and ever since have a difficult time taking medication. Your input would be appreciated.

Hi,

The pain in arms and legs while on Crestor are at first instance, seemingly from the side effect of the drug itself. The drug should be discontinued and the chart should be maintained for the pain in the arms and legs, before and after the same for a period of 2-3 weeks, to arrive at a particular reasoning.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
