I Stopped Taking Crestor 20mg On Doctors Advice About A

I stopped taking Crestor 20mg on doctors advice about a week ago, how long should I expect it to take my system to rid my body of suspected side effect?

I'm a 69 year old male, and beside the escalating joint and muscle pains I am in pretty good health since my heart attack in 2003
