Does Crestor Cause Pain In The Feet?

I am feeling miserable and I believe it is due to Crestor. I am taking 10 mg. and I have only been on it since April. My left foot aches, I am very tired all the time and etc,, etc,,, Can I just stop taking it and wait to see if it is from the Crestor. Do I have to wean off or can I just stop???

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Crestor (rosuvastatin calcium) can cause myopathy.
Go for serum Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK) levels and if it is within nrmal limit ,your new symptoms as described are not related to Rosuvastatin.

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