Mom's legs used to get tired easily after she started throwing clots. You might want to get the tiredness checked out.

If I stand still, my legs hurt, but at Christmas, I spend a lot of time standing on my legs with charity work, I try to move around instead of standing in one place,I have music in my head and keep time with my feet. I do not have clots like my Mom and it is pain not tiredness as I have arthritis in both knees and ankles. so not the same thing. I wish you luck but suggest googling.
