Leg pain.....please help!!

[hollie1586]

iv been having a bit of trouble lately with my left leg. it started a couple of weeks ago with pain down my shin...like the pain you have with growing pain. it has now gone from my shin and is now in my ankle, knee, foot and hip. i was thinking that it could be a type of arthritis but im only 21. i also get joint pain in my elbows. i dont do any sports or anything like that. i am quite over weight and i am also on Propranolol capsules for anxiety. i also get twitchy muscles and nerves. i do know that anxiety can highten the worry of the smallest thing so maybe that is contributing too. i keep thinking i have some terrible disease or something. the pain isnt unbareable or anything and has not got worse. just the same. has anyone else had this? thanks for reading!

no im not on statins....arent they to do with cholesterol?

i was wondering if it was something to do with the tablets i am taking! they are called Propranolol which is a beta-blocker. i started with the muscle ache a couple of weeks after i started taking them?!

I am on cholesterol tablets (with statins) and I am getting cramps in my legs trying to walk more than 100 yards and an ache in my leg just sitting still. I am going back to the doctor to see if I can be put on an alternative medicine.
