My Total Cholesterol Is 200 And My HDL Is 49.

My total cholesterol is 200 and my HDL is 49. I am 75 years old, and my Dr. has put me on a statin. I don't believe I should be taking something that causes me muscle pain and join pain with this cholesterol number. All of the forms the reports come back on are based on a total of 200 but my Dr. wand my total to be 150. Suggestion please.
