Can Atorvastatin Cause Muscle Soreness?

I have been on Atorvastatin for approximately 10 months. I keep reading that muscle soreness is a serious side effect. I have soreness on a daily basis but how can I distinguish this soreness from exercise soreness and fatigue (I do a cardio/weightlifting class 3 times per week)?
