Dear Sir/ Madam
Thanks for your query to HCmagic.
Pain in lower limbs is a generalized complaint. In your case this may be related to presence of acute attack of gout/ amlodipine therapy. At times the tiredness goes away once you are settled on amlodipine.
There can be other causes not being suggested by your history like neurological and vascular cause which needs examination. Please consult your GP.
hope it helps.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
