Question: Pretty much all 50 years olds will have some degree of arthritis, so it is a fair bet. Do plenty of exercise and don't lie down to the problem.

Sounds like DVT to me.
Buy a trike (safer than a bike if your getting all wobbly) and get out in the sunshine on it (summer is coming). Exercise those legs and live to be over a 100 years old. You can do it and it's environmentally friendly to get your shopping on the front too, plus you can chat face to face with the people all the way (did I mention the ride has to be at least five miles a day).
Plus if you pop into the pub and your legs get even more wobbly the trike will hold up better than a bike.
Arthiritis is a huge umbrella term for many different ailments. And there are many more it could be. To have a consultation on Yahoo! Answers would not be advisable, but would certainly require some more detailed information.
I suggest that you see your GP and ask him to refer you to a specialist at a local hospital (rheumatologist if it is a rheumatic pain).
Most such types of pain can be managed quite well these days. Progressive ailments (ie, ailments which damage your body and make it worse) can often be slowed down, but you should act early.
See your GP. Good luck.

When I first started hurting it was in my feet ankles. But later diagnosed with major osteoarthris in knees, hip. Also would get leg cramps and still do when on feet, walking too much. , such as flea market. I am now taking Omega 3 fish oil, Aleve, Pottasium, Cal-Mag_Zinc combo. I stopped Celebrex while back. Im 55. Also was in some therapy exercises. You can do sitting also. Hold leg out straight 10 count then other leg. Later go up to 15 count. It strenthens leg muscles. Also tap up and down with heel then toe , repeat other foot. Hope better soon but worsens see Dr for sure. *mamatx

Try cutting out all carbonated drinks and tea /coffee, drink only water and increase your Vit C intake.
Good luck.
Could be poor circulation. Maybe have a chat with your doctor
