A member asked:

Legs are sore (muscle sore if pressed) and itchy. legs are not swollen, red or have a rash. recently moved from cape town to johannesburg.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscle soreness: Muscle soreness can be caused by strain or overuse, inflammation from autoimmune diseases or statin medications. If you feel that exercise or strain isn't the cause and your symptoms persist or worsen, consult a rheumatologist for evaluation. Appropriate tests will be ordered.
