Hi i'm 22 an i have been having leg pain every since i could remember. When i would walk or stand for a long period of time my legs would ache like a tooth ache. I can only stand up for 2 hours before my legs would just start to ache. Sometime its both of them sometime its just one. When the weather changes it hurts really bad then. It dosn't happen that offten but every now an then they would hurt while sitting down for a long period of time i'm talkin maybe about 8 hours. I have been to the docotor an had x-ray done they rulled out arthritis. But couldn't find a problem with my legs. I have allways ran track started at age 8 an stop at 15. Around 12 i had gotten shin plints an the pain was too much for me to bear. I'm 5'1 105 i have allways been slim. I hope someone could at least send me a the right direction. This has affected my life big time. Thanks in advance

A few suggestions:
1. see an orthopedist
(a friend of mine saw one and all her problems were cured by wearing only a specifc brand of shoes he recommended)
2. see a neurologist
(to be sure it is not a problem with your central nervous system)
You didn't state that you saw any specialists so those are the two places I would start.
