 Some HIV drugs can cause muscle (mitochondrial problems) which can be diagnosed sometimes with blood tests or muscle biopsy. MRI can be occasionally helpful (better to get a full history and clinical examination). Bone/muscle pain is fairly common in the general population with stress and tight driving positions often aggravating such pain so can be a challenge to attribute to anything HIV or drug related.
