Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to the side effects of statin.
Muscle cramps are a common side effect of this medication.
I recommend using Baclofen three times a day which is a muscle relaxant.
I also recommend consulting your doctor about the dosage or an alternative treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
