tired legs
My lower legs get extremely tired when I am on my feet for 3-4 hours, from there I have trouble walking. I can lay down for an hour or so and then they are OK.

Hi,
How are you? Aside from DVT, diabetes and hypertension, this can also be work-related. However, for proper evaluation, your complete medical history and direct clinical examiantion will help. MRI and nerve conduction tests may indeed be indicated. Take care and do keep us posted.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
What you feel is probably pain and weakness of intermittent claudication where muscles spasm and then relax and then go into spasm again. It is commonly seen in patients with diabetes and hypertension.
Another possibility is deep vein thrombosis. This can also cause pain due to poor blood supply to muscles. This can be known by dopplar studies.
At times it can be due to a compressed spinal nerve in the lumbar area. This can be detected by nerve conduction studies and by MRI of the spine.
I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind.
Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
