Brief Answer:
Stress induced general weakness
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the reply.
Dear, from the description of your complaints, it appears that you are suffering from excessive stress. Your exams appear to be source for anxiety and stress. The complaint of having discomfort in your legs is not uncommon with the amount of stress that you are undergoing. There are no other significant symptoms that suggest any specific cause for your leg pain; besides stress induced back problem is a rare but one possibility that could explain your pain. Otherwise it’s just a general body weakness that appears most likely the cause for your leg pain.
I suggest you to have complete and adequate rest and nutrition.
Serum vit b12 and vitamin D can be checked and likely to be low.
Have vitamin supplements, especially vit B complex and moderate physical exercise.
The complaints should subside by week or so, if still persist to continue a consultation to local general physician can be advised.
Hope to have satisfied your query.
Thank you
