What Casues Tiredness In Lower Legs While Walking?
Question: For the past 3 days my lower legs feel tired when I walk. I seem to be fine in the morning, but as day goes on legs get tired. No pain.
Brief Answer:
vascular insufficiency or mineral difeciency
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I went through your query and understood your concerns.
With your description of symptoms i can think of two possibilities,
Vascular insufficiency, which presents with pain after walking for some time and relieves with rest. examination by a qualified doctor and Doppler study helps to rule out or confirm a condition. These are few extra details i need to rule out vascular insufficiency.
Are there tiny reddish bluish vessels prominent?
Is there any discoloration around the ankle?
Is the ankle swollen? Is it on both the legs?
Do you have any tingling/ numbness in the legs?
Other possibility would be muscular pain from Mineral and vitamin deficiency and calcium is commoner. So calcium intakes may help. However evidence based medicine suggests to test for calcium and Vit D3 before prescribing supplements.
Get back to me with above mentioned details to help in a better way.
wish you a good health.
