What Are The Alternatives Of Provastatin And Lipitor?

I have been taking different statins over the years -- provastatin and Lipitor. I also suffer from peripheral vascular disease. These statins cause muscle cramps in the calves of my legs when I walk. is there any other medication I can take to lower cholesterol and not cause muscle pain.
