Pain when walking?

ill have the doc check for that. at this point, they ordered a test for PAD and blood work. Not taking any statin medication. Could just be that i am out of shape, although i used run and never had pain like this. I also do the eliptical and do not experience pain either - only walking for period of time...

I'm glad that you're not taking statin-that's real good. You just need to ask the doctor if it could be your tendons- you just might be walking too fast or 2 far for right now. I hope that you don't have anything serious-just some rest- do some hamstring exercises and build up your walking abilities. It's easy to overdo something-then pay for it later. Just ask about your tendons to ease your mind- now that I brought it up. The doctor probably already checked, but doc needs to let you know. Their minds are racing around thinking of a million things that could be wrong.

The FDA says tired legs on the statin labels-but it doesn't feel like tired legs at all. Your calves get stiff and a little bit sore. You feel like you're wearing heavy boots. If your legs are tired and you take off heavy boots, your legs still feel tired. If you only feel like you are wearing heavy boots and you take them off, the strain is gone, and your legs and feet feel light and okay. I've waded in lakes, carrying geese and my shot gun. I've hiked and hunted in the Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan deserts in the summer, carrying a pack and a rifle. I know what tired legs feel like-statin toxicity does not feel like tired legs. Also if your face is getting red-that's another sign. We had some forest fires here, and the doctor thought that my symptoms were caused by being out in the smoke. Most doctors refuse to recognise statin toxicity. I had to fight to get a diagnosis, and this was with peeing blood. I hope that you don't have statin problems.
