Sore, Aching and Weak Legs

navyman

I have had numerous tests over the years regarding my aching and weak legs, Drs continually tell me that they think it is muscular.

I have been given pregabalin, Gabapentin, Tramadol, Paracetamol, Ibruprofen gel, none of which work. Have changed statin tablets and blood pressure tablets as they can cause leg aching but still no joy.

Anyone experience intense leg pain/aching and what helps for you?

You know my first thought @navyman was statins as my husband is supposed to start them but won't because of side effects like muscle weakness.

I presume you've tried physiotherapy?

Hopefully someone will come along who has teh same issue soon.

Take care

Hi @navyman welcome to the online community.

I have found an ancient thread which might be of interest to you too although it might not be the same thing at all. I thought it might be worth a read:
