Brief Answer:
Need more tests / see your doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
It is not clear – whether the pain is in the knee or leg…
However, the pain does not seem to have any relation to your medicines…
If it is knee – you should consult an Orthopaedician (bone specialist) – possible osteoarthritis. You may need more investigations like MRI, Blood counts, ESR and so on…
If it is the leg, you should see your cardiologist again – electrolyte disturbance, role of statins, intermittent claudication and so on need to be evaluated.
The treating doctor, after examination, can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
Good luck
