Hello... I too have thigh, knee and leg pain which is from hip osteoarthritis. But anti-inflammatories didn't work for the leg pain...Tylenol helps some. Through research of my own, I'm beginning to think it could be nerve pain, which is caused by hip osteoarthritis. Very painful to walk distance and sometimes painful to walk at all. I found a disease thru my research called Peripheral Artery Disease. It's a lack of blood flow to the legs. And the symptoms sound alot like your symptoms. Look it up and see what you think. It's just an idea....but I know how frustrating it is to not get answers and nothing you try helps! Good luck to you. Yes....I thought these were supposed to be our glory years too. I'm only 63....but hoping to get a hip replacement so I can get back to my active lifestyle.

Thanks, @cindisue . I had an "ultra" ultrasound (for 2 hours) and I do not have peripheral artery disease. They said my blood flow in my veins is superior. (Nice to get an "A+" on some part of my health, eh?!) The pain I am experiencing appears to be related to the severe rash & leg swelling that occurred w/ COVID. Still searching .. and frustrated.

To you too , good luck. It is just exhausting to learn how few docs of any kind are even reading as much as I am about long COVID.
