Hi,
Except crestor, all others are safe and are known to produce pains in very low percentage of population.
Crestor (statin) can potentially cause muscle damage and pains. However, we do not recommend self adjustment of dose or stopping it without consulting your doctor, as the consequences could be fatal by stopping it when you compare with the weight of muscle pains you get while on it.
all the best.
