Since your symptoms seem centered on the feet, I wonder if you have been to a good podiatrist and have had a complete workup for mechanical issues there? Compression (Tinel's sign), spurs, plantar fasciitis, arthritis in joints, sesamoid bone problems, neuromas, etc.

To clarify, my symptoms began with muscle weakness in my leg muscles(and twitching), as the weakness became worse, my feet, ankles, knees and hips began hurting more and more with time, becoming chronic. Other global signs are thinning of the skin, flaky skin, limited sensory type stuff(virbations, sharp jabs, hot spots), along with motor stuff (muscle weakness and global but specific twitching(fasciculations) of muscles), jerking of various muscles(probably called myclonic jerks). Along with heat sensitivity, fluctuating swallowing, breathless issues, and balance/unsteadiness issues.
