Dear Karen,

If rheumatic heart disease is advanced in this case heart cannot deliver as much blood to the organs they need, which leads to such complaints. Also, sometimes there may be serum electrolyte imbalance (lack of potassium, sodium or calcium in the blood) which may lead to weakness and leg muscle pain.
After the treatment you will feel.

Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health
