Marcia, Just to confirm, your feet/ankles/legs did not hurt while you were sitting?

It could be a circulatory issue. Cardiologists deal with that, not neurologists. Have you ever had an evaluation by a cardiologist?

When you stand up, gravity will make it harder for your body to circulate blood. Most people's bodies can handle that just fine.

That's why I was thinking a possible circulatory issue. If it's there all the time, then I would think a B12 deficiency or something else like a neuropathy from another cause (like lower back/spine problems).

Dehydration can also make your feet hurt.

Whatever is going on, it's best to talk to your primary doc and ask them to refer you on to a specialist if need be.
