What Causes Tiredness And Heavy Sensation In Lower Legs?

Recently I have been having tired, heavy sensation in both lower legs especially after being on them for awhile. Elastic stockings heLp a bit but I was wondering if I am lacking in a vitamin or mineral? I had disc/back surgery 8 weeks ago and that went well.

Hi, i am understanding you cencern about you legs. This tiredness and heavyness is due to decreased muscle strength. you should start some strengthening for you legs, as you have written, you had surgery of back which is causing this weakness in legs.
