What Causes Pain In The Knees And Thighs?
Hi, I am 77 yrs. old, in good health all my life, until now. Recent weight loss, approx. 8 lbs. Also joint and muscle pain in knees and thighs. My Dr. is trying to find cause and recommended a colonoscopy along with other tests, which have all been normal. I m concerned about possible infection and also wonder if I really need it. Thanks
