What Causes Stiffness And Pain In The Legs?
I have been getting sore and stiff over the past 8 weeks. I am 73 and exercise regularly. It hurts to get in and out of bed, to turn over, or to get in or out of my car. It is mostly my legs that hurt. I went off a statin 3 weeks ago but it has gotten worse instead of better.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Vitamin d and b12 deficiency can be a cause. Checking vitamin d and b12 levels in blood will be helpful to rule out this. In such case taking supplements of those will be helpful. A physical examination by general surgeon is well appreciated.
Thanks.
