Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The stiff and painful legs are not likely to be related to hepatitis. This is more likely to be due to a muscle spasm or a soft tissue injury. Mild pain killers and rest will help in decreasing the symptoms.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
