Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to side effects of Atorvastatin. One of the common side effects of this medication can be myalgia.
I suggest you stop the medication and consider taking an alternative medication.
I also recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
