This is there since a few months. No previous history of such cases happening to me. I have a 1 year old baby. Is it a post delivery health issue?

Brief Answer:
Meticulous Examination & Opinion is Mandatory
Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and I would like to answer your query as under:
1. Pain while walking can be Intermittent Claudication [IC], (PERIPHERAL ARTERIAL DISEASE) and pain while touching the ground could be heel pain, so Surgical Opinion is necessary.
2. Tightness could be cramps in the calf muscles which requires to rule out diabetes, calcium deficiency, salt deficiency.
3. Stiffness could be an early symptom of arthritis so opinion of Rheumatologist with necessary investigation can be considered.
4. Water Logging could be fluid/water retention which in your age could be due to
. pre menstrual water retention
. taking salt rich diet or due to protein deficiency.
. use of HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)
Thus a Meticulous Examination is necessary for further line of management.

Thanks for reverting back.
1. Since 2 & 4 is normal [as suggested by you], thus one should make an appointment with an Orthopedic Surgeon and Rheumatologist to exclude the above said possibilities.
2. Recent Research/Study has suggested that females with PPD [post partum depression] are more prone to GAD [Generalised Anxiety Disorder], make sure Depression is not an issue with you.
PS. people with GAD are more sensitive to muscle aches/stiffness.
