Hello,
The achy legs from knee down to the feet at your age can be due to low levels of calcium, muscle pain due to disturbed electrolyte levels or Methylcobalamin or L-Carnitine deficiency.
This can be related to fatigue and muscle spasms also. You need to start with proper supplements after a few related blood tests. Till then start with Tylenol double strength after meals with calcium supplements, rest the legs and hot compress the painful area.
