Suggest Treatment For Weak And Achy Legs

Hi, I am a 52 yr old woman. I an normal weight and eat healthy. My problem is that my legs are weak and achy after walking a while. I love to walk but it s becoming difficult, also going up stairs and slight hills. I have bronchiectasis however I am very well and I have reduced my meds, seritide and flixotide inhalers by half in past few months down to 2 puffs once a day of each. I am on no other meds. I am quite tall, just 6 ft. Would appreciate any advise. Thanks martina

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
thank you for your query....
at your age, i.e. the post or perimenopausal age, it is very common in women to have weak bones leading to difficulty in walking or aching in the lower limbs...it is called osteoporosis..
however, general health might be a concern also...
you have not mentioned since when are you having the problems.....

so kindly provide the mentioned histories and after that i can come to some provisional diagnosis, advise you some tests and medicine....

feel free to get back with the answers...

hope this was helpful......
