What Causes Pain Above The Ankles?
my legs ache all day, mostly above the ankle and the top of the calf. They feel strained but I know it is not exercise or trauma induced. I have been feeling very tired due to lack of sleep. I stopped taking Crestor 5 weeks ago, thinking that might have been a cause. What should I know about persistent leg aches?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Claudication could be the cause if you have calf muscle pain(above the ankle joint). Low water intake, vitamin E deficiency, fibromyalgia these are the causes.
Drink a lot of water and try vitamin E. If this is the fibromyalgia then it is a functional kind of disease. Stress mostly causes such pain. Try some aerobic exercise.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
