Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the legs that you have can be due to muscle cramps, side effect of cholesterol lowering medicine (even injectable's can cause so) or due to electrolyte imbalance.
You can consult your Orthopedician for a few tests to find out the cause of this pain. Proper supplements and changing the cholesterol lowering medicine can help.
I hope this answers your query.
