Crestor (rosuvastatin): So far so good - had to lower dosage to 5mg since I did get some pain in my feet and tingling in the hands. I've tried Lipitor, Vytorin and Zocor. All gave me a problem with muscle pain, some in a few months others after a year or more.

Crestor (rosuvastatin): I used Crestor for about 3 weeks before I started having muscle and joint pain. Then I began having horrible spasms in my muscles that would wake me every night. I called my doctors office and they told me to take 1/2 a pill every other day. I did as he suggested, but didn't get relief until taken off this medicine. It did however lower my numbers.

Crestor (rosuvastatin): My doctor switched me from Lipitor to Crestor because I was getting incredible leg pain and joint swelling. The Crestor has performed equally as well without any of the uncomfortable side effects.

Crestor (rosuvastatin): Crestor has been the only statin that has lowered my cholesterol and I have been taking statins since they came out. I have had no side effects and rate this drug as # 1 for cholesterol.
