Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe pain in legs along with fatigue and sleepiness. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like muscle strains , tendonitis , deep vein thrombosis , arthritis , gout , nerve damage or slipped disk . Pain can also occur due to osteoporosis compressed fracture or infection . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order certain tests like blood test , CT scan , physical examination and take history . Doctor may recommend physical therapy , which will be very healpful , muscle relaxant , nerve supplement along with stretching exercises . Doctor may also refer you to endocrinologist for diabetes problem or to neurologist for nerve problem . For now put your legs in hot water tub with epsom salt for 15 minutes daily and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Massage your legs with almond oil gently daily , drink plenty of water and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
