Foot pain.....leg pain senior citizen confused?

I went to a doctor to check if I have PAD (peripheral arterial disease) to which it came back negative.

No doctor can understand my pain.

I begin to walk and (not always) but usually.....calf muscle will feel like a cramp.......hamstrings start to have a burn-like feeling and the bottom of my feet feel as if I am walking on small tennis balls to which I can longer quick and I have fell many times. One time I took off my socks to see if my foot was swollen and NOTHING.

What could this possibly be. I have thought possible neuropathy but these are not symptoms of neuropathy.

I had a stent put in to my leg once..........and it was not needed since my blood pressure was usually higher than usual and my blood flow was decent......

What could this be? Did the stent collapse? Doctor never mentioned this or anything else.

    quite possible the stent has collapsed though it sounds like you may have torn a ligament,muscle,hamstring or something like that.very easy to do but can take a long time to heal.fallen arches also sounds like a pssibility and wearing cushioned,flat shoes and using heat packs could help.failing that go back to basics.ask for an xray,or even a doppler to check blood flow as a blocked artery,ruptured veins etc can be extremely uncomfortable.hope u feel better soon.x
