What Causes Pain And Weakness In The Legs?
Hello Doctor, My father is taking a series of medications. He tells me that he is having leg weakness and leg pains. I suspect that it is due to all the meds he is taking. What would be the best way to find out if there is a negative interaction? Thank you.

Hello,
As there is only one way to find if there is a negative effect is by stopping the medicine for a day or two.
Apart from that, if you had mentioned which medicine he is taking it would have made easy to say if the medicine is the only one causing weakness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
