Have you been tested for PAD or PVD( Peripheral vascular disease)? It is so often overlooked and can be tested for very easily with an ankle brachial test...similar to taking a blood pressure...only its done on the foot leg and ankle....I had the test....had had problems with pain on walking short distances...tingleing and pain like I'd run a marathon. At its worst it reached into my thighs. It was caused by a small blockage in one of the arteries in my calf. I recently had an angioplasty to repair it and the outcome is awesome! Within 2 days of the surgery I was back to walking...even up inclines without ANY pain. Just a thought to help maybe narrow down the possibilities.
