What is Tired Legs?
Also called: Aching Legs Tired legs is applied to one who has been exhausted, and lost his or her strength and energy through exertion by standing for a longer period or by doing lot of work which has made his/her legs fatigued. Tired legs or aching legs are commonly caused by strain and traction on the calf muscles (the fleshy part at the back of the leg below the knee). This occurs when the feet roll over and the legs rotate internally. In turn, this places stress on the leg muscles. After standing on your feet for a long time you get such kind of tired and aching feeling at the back of your legs, especially in the calf muscles and behind the knees. To relieve tired legs, you have to take a rest and sit down.
