General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Crestor is a statin and can cause muscle aches or pain, it is not usually associated with weakness. Fatigue can sometimes occur with Metoprolol. None of the medicines are associated with trembling of the legs or weakness in the knees, though persons react differently to medication.It may be best to speak to your doctor about your symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
