For the past 1 1/2 year I have been experiencing full time pain in both legs with the following symptoms: numbness, pinching, swollen, burning, cold, hard feet in the morning, tingling to name a few. I was sure it was veins/circulation related but had all the tests done and they could not find anything wrong. Now my doctors have no idea where all this comes from and for the past 2 weeks I have two red bumps growing on my legs (bottom front). I thought for sure they were blood clot, but again they have no idea what they are. I am very scared and don’t know where to turn anymore! Please help!

After a visit to the doctor it was confirmed that the "red bumps" are called Erythema Nodosum and are usually a sign of infection somewhere else in the body. More studies are pending...will keep you posted...thank you all for your comments

Try the above link, its a diagram that walks you through your symptoms and may give you some other ideas. Now with anything and any kind of advice, I am not a doctor (I'm a nurse) and my PA uses this site a lot and I thought it may help you, but please do not diagnose yourself, look it over and maybe print it out and talk to your doctor.
Good Luck, hope you find some answers soon!

Have you been tested for diabetes? My mom has had diabetes for a long time, and she experiences the symptoms you are describing all the time as well. Diabetes affects the circulation in your body, and the feet and legs are particularly at risk.

Read John E Sarno's the Mindbody Perscription, did wonders for me.

twice, I had leg pain and numbness and no back pain, and needed back surgeries. try a neurologist who may send you for an mri.

chainsaw it off......
No, seriously, stop eating junk, exercise, take vitamins, lose weight and drink more water.
I also recommend drinking green tea and herbal teas to add natural antioxidants to your body.
