General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Pain in the legs for a long time and causing the muscles to get thinner may indicate an important condition of the muscles or of the nerves or blood vessels that feed the muscles.
I would recommend you to have some tests to better determine which is the exact cause of the pain:
- NCT and EMG
- Doppler ultrasound examination of the legs
- a good physical examination, including a neurological exam, is necessary as well.
- blood tests such as TSH, basic metabolic profile, Creatine Kinase, etc.

I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.

Regards,
