Sounds like you need to start over. See a gp and get some blood work. If nothing there then try a vascular guy. If putting your legs up helps it could be swelling, even if you don't see it. How is your bp?

I hope you go and find out what is wrong. Please keep us updated. I hate to see you in pain. Hope they can find out what is going on. Love and prayers, Angela

hi mark,
Have your doctors done any testing, maybe an ultrasound or mri , have they checked to see if you have a blood clot . It's just an idea i don't want to scare you. Another thing my motherinlaw swears by but it never helpedme , she puts a bar of soap in her bed between the sheets and has her feet touch it while she sleeps, she claims it helps leg cramps. not sure why. When I get bad leg cramps I use ice or heat.alternating good luck I would speak to your md. isabee

thanks to all of you, blood work is fine , my pressure is a little high on meds for that, it doesn't start until i get vertical in the morning.I sleep fine, its both legs equal so no blood clot, its been a mystery for 3 years. doctors are so bad these days and i am diabetic, they just take the easy way out with neuropathy. ant way i am seeing the best around these parts now so keep your fingers crossed.

Hi Mark,
Have they tested the veins in your legs? Do you have varicose veins? Not all varicose veins stick out and they can cause the leg and feet to hurt especially after standing/walking. I copied a little blurb from the mayo clinic, I realize this is probably a long shot for you but thought I would throw it out there anyways.

Varicose veins are gnarled, enlarged veins. Any vein may become varicose, but the veins most commonly affected are those in your legs and feet. That's because standing and walking upright increases the pressure in the veins of your lower body.

For many people, varicose veins and spider veins a common, mild variation of varicose veins are simply a cosmetic concern. For other people, varicose veins can cause aching pain and discomfort. Sometimes varicose veins lead to more-serious problems. Varicose veins may also signal a higher risk of other circulatory problems. Treatment may involve self-care measures or procedures by your doctor to close or remove veins.

Hope this helps. Please keep us updated as to how your doing.

Hugs & God Bless

thanks Lisa i will look into that, i am so fed up already, how can 3 doctors just give out false diagnoses, I have spent 3 years in pure hell. I lost my family, job everything. it started when i worked at saks fith ave, those stores dont let you sit or even lean. there aught to be a law against there treatment. I am so fed up and tired. happy 4th to all

Iwill be home as usual alone

Mark,
The cardiologist had my husband start wearing compression stockings during the day. They are a pain to put on and get used to but it has made a huge difference in the calf pain. You can buy a mild version of them to try at a Walmart or drug store and see if they help. That is one of the treatments that goes along with what Isabee put in her reply.

Might ask your doctor about it. Just a thought. My husband does lay down a couple times a day to elevate his feet also.

Wishing you well. -RJ

I think the compression stockings are a wonderful idea!! I second that one!! Hun; I hope your legs start to feel better and believe me...as long as you have us you are never truly alone!! ((((gentle hugs))))))))) Happy 4th !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

compression stockings is a good idea, elevating my legs once the pain starts doesnt help at all. I will finally get to talk to the doctor tomorrow, the person who did the nerve function test, i have had 2 others said its not neuropathy. How can for 3 years, 3 neurologists say its neuropathy, and I even got accepted for disability. but now if social security wants to re evaluate my disability, i could lose my disability check, then I am in real trouble
