I'm sorry to hear about your leg pain. If you have diabetes, this could be related to diabetic neuropathy, which is a common complication. Here are some key points from the knowledge base:

- Proximal Neuropathy: This affects the thighs, hips, buttocks, and legs, often causing muscle pain, weakness, and difficulty with movements like getting up from sitting.
- Mononeuropathy: This involves damage to a single nerve, often causing sudden, severe pain in the leg.

If the pain persists, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
