One : One possibility would be neuropathy, which is a condition where the nerves become very painful in the legs (and rarely the hands). Neuropathy can occur in diabetic patients, patients with toxin exposure, and sometimes in patients with no risk factors. Another possibility would be reflex sympathetic dystrophy, another painful nerve condition, but that usually happens after trauma. Of course arthritis is another possibility. Please see your primary care doctor and fully describe your complaints so that they can perform the appropriate testing.
