Managing Muscle Pain Related to Cholesterol Medication Some examples of statin medications are Lipitor® (atorvastatin), Pravachol® (pravastatin), Zocor® (simvastatin), Livalo® (pitavastatin) and Crestor® (rosuvastatin). Unfortunately, some people may experience muscle pain or weakness while taking statins. The pain may be minor such as soreness or stiffness. However, muscle pain, particularly if severe and accompanied by dark-colored urine, may be an indication of a more serious, life-threatening problem called rhabdomyolysis.

What to do when you suspect a statin causes muscle pain Muscle aches on statin drugs like Lipitor are common. Sometimes, but not always, they can cause muscle inflammation as well, with evidence of muscle breakdown in the blood. It's important to emphasize that not all cases of muscle aches due to statins have abnormal blood results. If the muscle aches stop while off the statin, it is likely that the statin caused them. In that case, it would be worth a try of the medicine again. If they came back on, I would not recommend taking it further.
