Hello
Your weight is 80 kg but according to your height this is high ( more ) .
Ideal weight for you is 60 kg .
Reasons for pain in the legs and hip may be due to following reason.1 Over weight as mentioned above ,so your hip and legs ( ankle joints ) can't bear this over weight as these two joints along knee joints are weight bearing joints.
2 Due to long standing stasis of blood ( anti gravity ) porduces such type of pain and at this age of 55 years you require some rest .
If possible take rest ( few minutes in between work hours).
3 Deficiency of calcium and Vitamin E causes such type of pain so get in blood examination .
4 Lipid profile will also helps as hyper cholestroleamia causes such type of pain.
Good luck
