Hi Dear ,
As per your query you have leg muscle soreness and facing difficulty in raising leg . Well there can be many reasons for muscle soreness like , medications, especially statins , muscle cramp , muscle strain or rupture , myofascial pain syndrome , hypothyroidism and repetitive muscle strain injury . I would suggest you to take a gentle massage for leg muscle , keep your leg in bucket full of warm water with one spoon salt in it , do light stretching exercises and avoiding high-impact activities until after the muscle pain goes away . If condition persist or get worse then consult orthopedic surgeon . Doctor may order certain test like blood test and CT scan of joint . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , supplement like omega 3 fatty acid or may refer you to endocrinologist .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
