call your doc and he/she can order some blood work to check certain enzyme levels to see if this med is having one of the rare side effects..when i started on lipitor about a month later i started having muscle aches and wasnt sure if it was the meds or the aerobics class i had started...had blood work and it was not the med...don't just stop the med,call the doc and be advised by them

This is what I found on the Internet. I believe you should consult your Doctor as soon as you can. God Bless.
Crestor Oral Side Effects
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
This drug may infrequently cause muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness (which can rarely lead to a very serious condition called rhabdomyolysis). Seek immediate medical attention if you develop these muscle problems (especially with fever or unusual tiredness).
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects occur: yellowing eyes and skin, dark urine, stomach/abdominal pain, severe nausea, vomiting, fatigue, change in the amount of urine.
A serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing.
