It could just be muscle weakness,caused by walking those irregular long distances you mentioned and putting a strain on the leg muscles,perhaps if you had been wearing knee length support stockings you may not be having such discomfort. To determine that you havn't got a circulation problem such as varicose veins or some other medical condition there is only one thing to do to get a diagnosis and thats to make an appointment to see your GP. In the meantime get your feet up to elevate your legs for a while and relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 what do you thinks wrong with me? You dont get enough exercise. And now when you do a little extra, it hurts the day after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Walking in snow uses muscles differently, so it wouldn't be unusual to be a bit achy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daven Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Were you wearing the same footwear on both occasions ? Just a thought, but it could be your boots that are the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
