hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.
As mentioned you have pain in the lower limbs post taking diuretics it can be muscular pain. Also, the diuretics are prescribed for reducing the water content in the body by which the blood pressure falls down. As you have CHF you need to perform regular breathing exercises as to have a control over the Cardiorespiratory system. In addition performing regular general body exercises with breathing exercises will imporve your cardiac input output.
Since the pain is in the legs, it is tough to correlate if the pain is dude to diuretics. As it cannot be case. Getting a thorough neuromuscular assessment will help us guide further the cause.
You can try undergoing physical therapy as it will help reduce the pain and also improve the muscle strength.
