Hi, Two weeks ago , I noticed that it was painful in the back of my thigh when getting out of a chair or when climbing upstairs. Then five days ago it got a lot worse wth pain in my calves when getting in and out of a chair, when trying to pick something off the floor, trying to turn over in bed, all those things hurt my thigh and calf , like I have strained or twisted it.
At night my calves ache so badly, and trying to get out of bed in the night is painful if I need a trip to the bathroom. It doesn't hurt when I walk, isn't red,swollen or anything else different in appearance. I find it difficult to bend to put socks on, it pulls in my calf, but then sometimes it pulls in my thigh . I don't take stations. Any ideas what it could be or is it something as simple as a sprain?

Are you on statin medication? Or have you recently started any new medications? What are your blood sugar levels like generally?
