Hi, @tootie70 Welcome to Connect!

Are you taking any medications? I have discovered that three medications I take can cause leg pain. My legs hurt 24/7, and are at their worst in the morning. They were really incredibly horrible at one point and I mentioned it to a friend who for some reason always seems to know a lot of medical information. She immediately asked me if I was on a statin. I was, so I spoke to my doctor and he reduced the dose from 20mg a day to 10mg a day. They still hurt but are manageable now.

They were hurting before I was on the statin so I think a different medication is causing that and now a newer medication has made the pain somewhat worse but I can live with it once I get beyond the morning. I would check side effects of any medications you are taking. You may be surprised to discover that some of them could be causing your pain. Often it is a "rare" side effect but I tend to get those rare side effects. It is definitely not a case of knowing that is a side effect and then thinking I have it because as with the statin, I don't generally check that thoroughly into side effects because I don't want to be influenced by them.
