Chronic Bilateral Cramp-like Calf Pain

[petr.s]

I have been suffering from chronic bilateral calf pain for the last twelve months. The pain is constant, same in both legs; I also infrequently suffer from cramps. The pain is elevated by physical efforts (running, even longer walks). The pain is cramp-like and resembles the feeling I used to have in legs after a game of soccer (except it does not disappear the next day).

The pain started shortly after a minor laparoscopic surgery which was apparently a trigger rather than the cause of the problems. In early stage, I also had edema on both ankles. The original treatment involved injections of corticosteroids which removed the swelling and subdued the pain for several months. After three months, the pain returned (but no edema) and corticosteroids no longer help.

I have been tested on thrombosis and all obvious causes (blood and urine tests, ultrasound of vascular systems, tec.) – all negative. Can anyone please suggest possible causes of the pain and how to treat them? Thank you, Petr.
