Hola Lucia. Según Moliner "desguanzado" es una voz Méxicana de raíz desguazado.

¿No habrán querido decir "desguazan"? Nunca había visto "desguanzar" y no parece estar en el DRAE. Buen fin de semana, Deb y DLyons!

my feet are killing me

If you wanted to go more informal then we often say 'my feet are killing me' which is a possibility for the meaning here.
Example sentence:

I just want to sit down somewhere and relax. My feet are killing me
