Hi. I have a pain that I think starts in my knee and goes up my thigh. It is a dull, gradual ache that I cannot pinpoint. I was taking statins a few months ago and stopped because I thought it was affecting my muscles. I notice it most sitting, driving or going to sleep. There is no comfortable position. I felt the statins affected my thigh muscles, but this feels a little different, almost like bone aches.
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve or a bulging disk in the lumbar region (compressing the sciatic nerve). Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and some tests
