what could be causing leg pain and burning just to the right of shin bone?

Syb
07/07/08

I visited my family physician and told him of a pain I developed in my shin (immediately to the right of my shin bone) which feels as if it is burning.  It feels like a shin splint would feel but hurts most when I elevate my leg not while I'm walking.  The pain is intermittent and will feel better when I wake up in the morning and feel okay during the day while I'm working but when I get home and put my feet up, the burning pain starts and doesn't subside until late in the evening.  In the past, the pain has lasted for as long as a week and then subsided for a week.  Recently, it started again.  My doctor ordered some blood tests to determine if the cause was from my medicines or a possible clot.  The determination was no.  I'm taking armour thyroid and estrogen.  About 2 1/2 years ago, my dr. prescribed daily aspirin therapy as well as 2,000 mg. fish oil and B100 .

I have the same symptoms, but the pain involves the tops of my feet as well.  Recently I've started feeling the pain in my thigh bones as well.

 

Since it it both feet & both shins, I have to rule out any injury. 

Since my feet aren't cold,  I can rule out circulatory problems.

Since it is worse when I am not on my feet, I can rule out pressure.

I don't have diabetes or high blood pressure.

 

I've combed the web looking for similar symptoms and/or diagnosis.

Please let me know if you find anything.
