The muscles in your legs tire due to the constant weight they must endure. Also, the cartilidge in your joins will also be affected. Try to sit down when possible e.g on lunch and make sure to relax when you get home before going straight to bed. Performing routine exercises whilst at home will help build muscle strength and durability in the legs so it should lessen the problem.

First of all I wish you didn't have to work so hard and so long.been there,done that.if you can't lessen your workload the best bet would be to have some really good shoes with good support.I didn't buy the expensive ones.I got dr.scholls tennis shoes with gel.about $24 @walmart.They help a lot.Also for leg cramps ask the pharmacist while your'e there.I know some supplements but they might not work for you.so good luck and may you soon have"happy feet".

Your leg muscles tense up so the blood is able to travel against gravity back to your heart and brain. Going jogging will help strengthen your legs and boost your energy by releasing endorphins in the body. I sometimes exercise when I am really tired and find that I have more energy afterwards than I did before. You could also try stretching your legs out every evening- this will help circulate blood to the muscles that you dont use during the day and help to get rid of lactic acid. Make sure you drink plenty of water and get enough salt in your diet, as lack of these can often cause cramps.
