Is your doctor giving you iron because you are anemic? If so it can take 3 to 4 weeks of iron supplementation before hemoglobin levels are raises sufficiently. I am unsure as to whether this would help your sore legs. Have you tried taking some over the counter pain medication eg. acetaminophen or ibuprofen?
