Hi...feeling heaviness in the hands and feet fora 10 year old could be her way of expressing weakness of the limbs. If there is severe weakness in the limbs and she is unable to walk unsupported or if the fever is persisting or if there is marked weakness, I suggest you consult your pediatrician or pediatric neurologist as this is fitting into a condition called GBS (Guillian Barre Syndrome).
