Lightbulb Tony,
Were you evaluated for intermittent claudication? This is where the
arteries to the lower leg become blocked, and cause pain.

It is more common in males, and also those who smoke.

Here is a site with information:

Did your doctors offer you nitroglycerin or any other vasodilation drug?
(like isosorbide?)
Also Plavix and Pletal are sometimes used for this (or aspirin).
