Many possibilities: There are many possible problems that can cause chronic foot and leg pain. One possible common problem is posterior tibial tendon dysfunction or another type of tendonitis depending on the location of pain.

Possibly a sciatica: A sciatica is caused by an irritation of a nerve in the back that then can cause pain that runs down the leg like you are describing. There are also potentially other causes as well. Usually a detailed history and exam can determine the cause. Thank you for your question.
