Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that since you dont give any history of swelling of any joint is very unlikely to be arthritis . A lot of causes an give rise to such complaints . Metabolic deficiencies remain the primary cause of feelig weakness and pain in legs .
I will advise you to get Calcium , vitamin D levels , Vitamin B 12 levels , CPK , Serum TSH , T3 , T4 levels and Rheumatoid factor as preliminary investigations. It is advisable to get these levels done before any kind of supplements .
In case you have any other symptoms please mention so it will be helpful in identifying the problem.
Take care.

Dear Sir,
The complaints that you are telling are non specific so giving you a diagnosis will be difficult at this stage without lab testing . Still I will advise you to take a calcium tablet 500 mg once daily , A vitamin d XXXXXXX like cacirol XXXXXXX 60,000 IU once a week for 12 weeks , a multivitamin tablet specially containing vitamin B 12 once a day.
This will help in solving the problem.
