Muscle and joint pain is one of the most common statin side effects. It affected me particularly badly in the mornings, one I was on (can't recall which) once the side effects kicked in I woke up in the morning like an arthritic 90 year old, stiff and aching all over, couldn't even stand up straight! I went through four different statins, atorvastatin, fluvastatin, rosuvastatin and simvastatin before finally settling for pravastatin, seemed to be the least bad one,
