What Causes Muscle Pain After Changing To Atorvastatin?

I have been made aware that statins actually increase heart attacks, cancer, liver, kidney damage, lower CoQ10 and cause muscle pain. I have been taken simvastatin for years and now have been changed to atorvastatin and am starting to feel muscle pains. Can I go off statin without danger to my health?
