Hello,
The leg pain could be related to possible muscle damage. Anyway, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests (complete blood count, CPK plasma levels, ESR, PCR). Nerve conduction studies may be needed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
