severe lower body pain

I have gotten a sudden sore throat, started three hours ago, and severe pain in my legs especially the back sides of them into my calves starting in my buttocks. I'm wondering if there is any insight into what may be causing his all of a sudden. Neither the throat or leg pain seems to be relieved by anything.

Do you have a high fever? If so you may have strep throat. The fever may be making your legs ache. You can have strep throat without a fever but usually you have a fever. Do you have any pus in your tonsil area or white spots? You get tested for strep throat by a doctor. I think CVS pharmacy has a  clinic too (which is cheaper if you don't have insurance).

Have you taken your temperature?  You may be running fever.  Even a low grade fever (99 or 100) can cause muscle and joint pain.  

I hope this helps and that you feel better soon.
