What Causes Aching In Legs And Hips When Suffering From Hypertension And Anxiety?

I am experiencing my legs and hips aching so I can't sleep. I am 82, exercise my legs everyday with a therapist. I get out and about regularly, but tonite in bed, they ache so I can't find a spot to lay.
I am a diabetic, no longer taking glipizide, my sugar is under control. Blood Pressure is usually 140/70 , I have lost 37 lbs in the past year, but am treated for hypertension and anxiety.

Hello & Welcome to HCM,

I had gone through the case and found that the lower extremities pain might be due to-

1- Diabetic Neuropathy

2- Deficiency of Vitamin D3

3- Deficiency of Vitamin B12

So go some blood test like

-HbA1C for sugar level

-Vitamin D3 level

-Vitamin B12 level

Normally due to loosing of weight there is deficiency of vitamin in the body which create the pain.

After getting the correct diagnosis take treatment for it.

Hope my advise will be effective for you.

Thanks,
