Can simvastatin cause joint pain in knee, which occurs mainly at rest & in bed. also joint locks occasionally.

Simvastatin can...: Cause myalgias, or muscle pain, which you might perceive as knee pain. However, the locking symptoms are unlikely to be explained by this and requires a work up and evaluation by a musculoskeletal specialist.
