Hi
There are 3 reasons for leg pain with the history that you have given.Of course it would have been even better if had told us about your smoking habits. 1) since your pain is present on the inner side of your thighs, there is a possibility of AVN of the hip joints. What it means is that blood supply to the ball of hip joint socket decreases, causing death of the femoral head(ball bone). This can give rise to pain primarily and also secondarily due to arthritis in the hip 2) PVD.
Peripheral vascular disease means narrowing of blood vessels due to high
cholestrol. This is the same phenomenon that occurs due to a
heart attack, but this is albeit happening in the peripheral vessels. Also a combination of
cigarette smoking, alcohol, and
atherosclerosis can give rise to what is called as 'claudication pain' or simply pain due to narrow vessels 3) Crestor can cause
muscle pain. this is a well known cause of muscle pain in people using anti-lipid lowering agents.
Either way you will require a full assessment by an orthopod with x rays of the pelvis with both hips, and perhaps MRI of the pelvis looking for AVN, and an arterial duplex looking for narrow blood vessels, if any. If you are diabetic it is imperative that sugars are under control and if you smoke, quit it as soon as you con.
Hope this helps,
