Hi all

I'm asking for some advise or thoughts on a hip and leg pain that I get.
It started to come on about a year and and has slowly got worse. It only comes on when walking more than about 100meters or standing for about 5 minutes. Its starts mainly over the right greater trochanter and to a lesser extent at the at the superior aspect of the right sacro iliac joint. Then the medio- anterior thigh then the lateral aspect of the anterior tibialis and finally into the MLA. Over the GT and pelvis the pain could be described as a deep ache to digging with a screw driver type thing. The thigh and lower leg is a biting ache going to burning and the foot like standing on a large pebble. Recently the pain has progressed to coming on when lying supine, just enough to keep waking me up. Another symptom is I keep straining hamstrings and muscles in both legs. Yesterday it was the medial vastus insertion. There is also a feeling of numbness, weakness and losss of motor control although no actual numbness, weakness or loss of motor control has been noted. Sometimes a feel like I am standing in a bucket of very cold water with my right foot. There are no left side problems except for straining and continuous bursitis of the origin of the abductors (i think) at the isheal tuberosity. There is no lower back pain on movement thru any full RoM and no SLR test(straight leg raise) pain, either leg.
I have had a plethora of investigations, including x ray, MRI (hips, pelvis and all spine), physio assessment, musculo-skeletal specialist evaluation. No amount of stretching, bending, RoM contorsions can reproduce the pain on the couch and there is nothing remarkable in the reports except for slight insignificant age related degeneration of lumbar spine and a very small L4 disc bulge (not really a prolapse). I have also looked closely at the imaging with the specialists and there are no apparent or significant problems to be seen.
Nobody knows what to do and so I have been signed off with the proviso to return to GP for further referral if it gets worse, which it has but so what.
I go to a private physio who mobilises, manipulates and streches every joint he can and this can can relieve the symptoms for a few days but, post treatment, this is preceded by a few days of being much worse.
Any ideas - the pain is getting beyond a joke and worse I can't walk from the Red Cow to the Jolly Frenchman without stopping at the Black Bull in between and the beer there is always warm and watery.

Ps Oh yeah recently I find that I have to walk with a hip twisting rolling side to side action, I'm not sure if its antalgic or a muscle weakness / firing sequence problem.
