    Default failing

    Hi

    Is it common to say: My legs are failing me when I'm tired after the whole day of walking/standing?

    Maybe there is a similar and a better expresion?

    Default Re: failing

    Try: My legs get tired when I am on my feet all day.
    or

    My legs get fatigued . . .


    If your legs "fail" you, that means they are not working at all.
