Have you thought that it might me your sacriiliac? That can cause horrible leg pain, mine lasted 4 months. It hurt to sit, walk and lie down. It finally stopped on its own. I went to an orthopedic surgeon for this.

I have had severe leg pain since I was a child. They hurt so bad at night I can't sleep. I get up and take a hot bath and strech them then I rub them down with rubbing lotion and strech them some more. They will not be still and I cant be still. They cramp all night and then in the day time. My dr gave me Mirapex for RLS and I have PAD which the Dr gave me Cilostazol to help the blood flow through my legs. Have you tried the Mirapex and have you been checked for PAD?
 
Hi Robin,

I have the same exact problem. What does your pain feel like? Is it both legs....from your hips to your feet...front and back of both legs??

when you stated that you 'had EVERY test", just what does every test actually include? do you personally have all copies of every single test result? if not, get every single test result from either the doc who ordered it, and also, most definitely their particular medical records they have on you and this pain situation. or you can also obtain the test results from the facilitys directly where you had them done too. but it really would be more beneficial to also obtain all those clinic notes made by every single specialist who has laid hands on you.

this is something i started doing right at the beginning of my bigger medical problems and also any hospital stay records too. you just need to know what impressions these docs had when you saw them. it is important to know.

but those test results? well, this sick thing goes on more than it should out there in the medical world, but for some sick reason, not every espescially the specailists will actually tell any given patient just exactly what was a real hard finding in any given test result. i personally have had this happen with certain very revealing MRIs done on me over the years. what YOU get is what any given doc decides to tell you about and nothing more when there could be a rather crucial finding but that particular specialist just does not have enough overall experience/knowledge to even THINK it is really an important finding? you know what i mean? just always always make certain to obtain all of your very own copies of any testing results and keep your stuff in some type of expanding folder where you just know that all your medical recods and test results are all in one spot.

but knowing what you have had as far as tests done would really help since there are MANY different types of diagnostic testing available. and do not allow ANY doc to placate you by telling YOU its all in your freaking head when it just ain't in the head. this is what docs tell you when they cannot find reasons or answers rather than simply admitting, 'i don't know". so just keep pushing til someone finally listens and takes things seriously. YOU know what you feel,ya know? FB
 
Those are the same symptoms I had. If you are taking iron pills, that may not be enough. I started introvenus iron from a hemotologist and my symptoms which were severe, went away with the second treatment. My iron was so low, that I was getting introvenous iron twice a week. You might want to get a complete blood test done.
