HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that the crestor is contributing to your muscle and joint pain.
This is one of the possible side effects of this family of medications.
You may need to speak to your doctor. He or she may consider discontinuing the medication for a short period to see if the pain lessens.
If it does then it is likely due to the meds.
Other options would need to be considered.
I hope this helps
