What Causes Pain In The Foot While On Crestor?

Hi...I have been on Crestor for about four weeks now I am experiencing pain in my right foot-it is hard to step on my foot- it is only sore if I try to walk- I am curious if it could be a side effect of Crestor or something else like plantar fasciitis ?thank you!

Cannot say in your particular case without actually being there. However, the muscle aches from statins would affect all muscles everywhere, while an injury or inflammatory condition like plantar fasciitis would be quite localized.
