I'm struggling with not being able to stand for long periods, which makes everyday things like food shopping, cooking, cleaning, and even going to the mall or mowing the lawn really exhausting for me. It's starting to worry me. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this or how I can manage it better?

Madam based on the history you have given I think you should know that there are many reasons which causes leg muscle pain like poor nutrition diet causing easy fatigue....vitamin d,calcium,vitamin b12 etc deficiency may be the cause,low haemoglobin is other possibility...musculoskeletal disorders should be ruled out consult nearest physicians for clinical examination they will do the needful.
