Hi,

Noted your history of just joining as front desk officer needing to stand for 10 hours, developed pain in legs, stiffness in legs at night and pain in right side of abdomen.
The commonest causes I can think about are one of the following:
DVT that is deep vein thrombosis may be due to long standing, dehydration as you might be taking less water and so on.
Varicose veins.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult your Doctor at once that is immediately for clinical evaluation and examination.
Ultrasonography of legs along with color doppler study will tell the cause.
Get a reference for a Specialist if there is something like this for further evaluation and proper management.
If the cause is something else like muscular or so then your will be treated accordingly.
The pain in abdomen may be not related to leg pains but needs proper evaluation and management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
