I would make an appointment with an orthopedic doctor. You will need an X-ray and MRI to get diagnosed. You PCP doctor will probably have to send you elsewhere to get this done while most orthopedic doctors have this equipment on their premises.
You will save time and money and get relief sooner.
If I had to guess, it sounds like osteoarthritis. I have it really bad in both knees, it starts out painful, then over the years becomes much worse. I am currently bone on bone with both knees, so bad that I hear crunching noises when I walk.
I have an appointment today and I hoping to get some relief.
Wishing you well and best best of luck.

Even though 2 of my friends are Orthopedic specialist 1 specializes in hips and knees, the other is a spinal surgeon, if I were you, I would start by seeing your PCP. Leg pains have a myriad of sources, many are "referred pains". I personally don't like to speculate about anyone's medical "symptoms".

If you are taking a statin , you might be suffering pain from that. Not everyone can take it. It attacks the muscle ,but ,I don't think it bothers the bone

And remember when you find out the problem be sure and DON'T TELL ANYONE ON THE BOARDS.

@Sadiesadie wrote:@qvc chick, I agree with @Annabellethecat66 @that it could be a torn meniscus. I saw my regular doc as I was having so much pain so she essentially me for an X-ray insurance requires that first, and then an MRI to confirm it was a torn meniscus. It was so she gave me a steroid shot which instantantly brought down the swelling. Not all torn meniscus have to be dealt with further. I will get pain periodically but still doing what I normally do but just careful with that knee. I hope your issue is not serious.

I have had surgery for torn meniscus in both knees. This is what my ortho doc told me..if your knee is swollen, makes a popping sound and hurts...probably torn meniscus...but not always. See a doc!!

I suggest seeing you family doc for an eval. You will probably need plain films of the knee. I had front to back, side and bent knee xrays. My ortho said they should have done standing knee xrays too, to see the space between your upper and lower leg bones.
Wishing you the best.
