hello,
the drug for dyslipidemia like statins causes muscle pain mainly in legs. The cause for your leg pain is that drug, it's good to stop it. now for severe leg pain, you can take tab tramadol 50 mg twice a day or Tab Nucoxia-P ( paracetamol plus endomethacin) twice a day for 5-7 days. you will feel much better.
thank you
