I've Taken Prevastin 40mg For 2 Years, It Has Lowered

I've taken prevastin 40mg for 2 years, it has lowered my total cholesteral and LDL. I'm 69yrs old, female, and have joint and muscle pain that seems to have increased over the time I've been on the medication. My liver function tests are all normal. Would like to try going off the med for a trial period to see if the pain decreases. Is this a bad idea?
