cannot say in your particular case without examination but let us look at what we do know.
broadly lower extremities without localization to joints or nerves.
at periods
what happens at periods? some women report increased fluid retention...which can cause pain in those regions in some people treatable with mild diuretics taken only during the period.
perhaps mild electrolyte imbalances related to the above.
that's about it.
