What Causes Pain In Thigh While Suffering From Degenerative Joints?

I have been on Provastatin for over 10 years and am now having pain in my left hip/upper thigh. I am on Mobic for degenerative joints in the neck, lower back, knee and elbow. Should I ASSUME this is probably another joint with degenerative changes? The Mobic is NOT helping that particular joint.

Hello,
I have studied your case. pain in thigh after taking statin for such long time. This is most probably due to myopathy. Also degenerative joint problem also increases such problems.
I would suggest you to discuss with your doctor. He might asked you to check x ray and stop statins.
You should also take carnisure tablet and methyl cobal. This will improve your thighs pain. Some time you might need surgery to take care of this.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
