Leg pain

For a few months now I have had weird muscular leg pain. It's like calf cramp but runs down the front of my thighs. It aches a lot of the time but in the cold or if I walk/drive then the cramping starts. Today I was nearly in tears trying to drive.

I vaguely remember having something like this before but really bad for a day and the dr diagnosed a virus but ran a series of blood tests, which showed up a vit d deficiency. I'm wondering if that could have caused the cramping, rather than a virus? Although then it went away after a few days.

I need to get myself to a dr I guess but last time I went because I always feel so tired the dr suggested I was depressed and suggested antidepressants. So I expect I will get the same response again!

I've had similar issues in the past, doctors guessed all sorts. Ended up finding myself a really good physio who straight away knew the problem was in my mid back and sorted it within half an hour.
But see your GP first.
