Dr. Alvin Lin answered

PAD/PVD: If you're describing muscle pain rather than joint, you might have peripheral artery/vascular disease (PAD/PVD). Check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/peripheral-artery-disease/basics/symptoms/con-20028731. Symptoms abate w/rest then recur w/more activity. Legs may be cold w/less hair growth. Wounds are slow to heal. If you smoke, quit. Then go see Family Doc for evaluation (ABI)
