I have bee taking Crestor for some time, I have recently noticed that I have been having stiffness in my knees, the shoulders, ( that have had torn cartliage since taking the Crestor ) and the knees fell the same way the shoulders did. Very stiff and achy. Is there any research that is linked to Crestor and torn cartliage and stiff joints?
