What Causes Pain In The Lower Extremities?
In the past two months I have had an increase in generalized achiness in both my lower extremities. No injury. NSAIDS are no help. I am on my feet all day, I have good shoes with inserts in them. This has come on fairly suddenly. I am mildly overweight by my weight has not changed in 10 years.

Hello,
Pain in lower extremities can be due to various causes like anemia, vitamin deficiencies etc.
I suggest you get a complete blood count peripheral blood smear examination and vitamin D levels.
In case any abnormality is detected, suitable supplements are suggested.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
