Thanks for the reply. I thought about PAD but that useually goes away on rest and can involve calfs butt and shins, i think i have that at times but it has come and gone here or there, but like i said this is constant and i can not feel where it hurts by poking ot pinching, its like deep in my leg. Sounds almost like shin splints but its on the outside of the shin about 3 inches away.
