Brief Answer:
can be due to several reasons, please see the detailed answer below...

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I've gone through your query and understand your concerns...

First of all, please note that all these symptoms are quite non-specific and can be seen in a number of medical/surgical concerns (starting from Anemia, nutritional/vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, early onset diabetes, muscle fatigue, Veinous incompetence to name just a few)...

Therefore, at this outset, I'd strongly suggest you meet an Internal Medicine specialist and get yourself clinically checked up in the first place...Along with it, a comprehensive Metabolic profile checkup (including CBC, ESR, KFT, FBS, PPBS, HbA1C, Electrolytes, Thyroid Function Test, Serum Vit-D3 and B12 levels, if excessive leg pain around the calf region and some other features like swelling/ edema/ redness/ skin discoloration then B/L lower limb color doppler study also) needed to be checked as well...

Management will be primarily dependant on the findings..So just go ahead with the check-up, and simultaneously get investigated as already mentioned...

Get well soon...

Take Care
Kind Regards
