Brief Answer:
Hello. Mild pains are acceptable

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear.

If you are experiencing mild pains, you can take simple over the counter analgesics (eg. Tylenol). However, if the pains are more and severe, it is better to avoid Crestor and get investigated for drug-induced myopathy.

Please discuss this with your physician.
Thanks and regards
