Quote from Elliejon:I have the same affliction (?) only when I press down on my legs front or back, it hurts. It seems like it hurts in the muscles. I have my husband rub my legs on the calves but if he uses his fingers it hurts like hell. What I think happened in my case was the Lipitor that the doctor put me on a year or so ago. I finally took myself off the Lipitor because every muscle in the body (especially the legs) hurt and I was terribly fatigued. I was only on that horrible statin (Lipitor) for 6 months...... I really believe it caused muscle damage. Anyway, you probably are not taking it but it you are, look into it. Acutally, look on the internet. There are so many people with horror stories about this drug.
Good Luck

Thank you very much Elliejon; no, I'm not on Lipitor, Mevacor ; I don't trust, generally speaking, any drug advertised on TV. Way too many side effects. We take bee products (royal jelly, honey and propolis) for most any ailment. And we take colostrum capsules, too.
