statins which are known for there side effects of muscle pain ,so you can hold these medication for some days and see for the change of pain.

Take plenty of water, fluid intake will dilute toxins.
Eat fresh fruit and juice and soup they have anti=oxidant.
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,

Take potassium rich diet.
Hot and cold fomentation to thigh.
