Hello
Your symptoms seem to be related to side effects of Rouvastatin.
Statin medication give very often muscular cramps.
I would recommend you to stop the medication and consult your doctor about an alternative medication.
I also recommend to take Baclofen to help with the pain and stiffness.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
