Kidney deficiency may possibly cause soreness, weakness, and fatigue in both legs. It could also result from lumbar spine disorders, particularly when the affected area compresses spinal nerve roots. Medications such as Guilin Dihuang Pills or Jinkui Shenqi Pills can be used for regulation and treatment. Additionally, heavy dampness in the body—characterized by its turbid and heavy nature—may lead to symptoms like heaviness and fatigue in the limbs. It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods, and instead consume more vegetables and fruits in daily diet.
