Thank you for all your comments - it seems a pretty common problem.

Genko, I've been doing physio and strengthening exercizes with the physio since August, as well as balance work. I really think it was helping, but then the burning pain started, just as I was being discharged. For other reasons, I've not felt well enough to do the physio at home for the last couple of weeks, but once I get this burning sorted out, I definitely will get back to it.

Thank you for your input about statins a66ey. My husband had the same thing happen. I don't take statins, but do have my suspicion about the BP meds. They have helped me more than the previous ones, but I can't put up with the muscle burning. I'll go for the doppler, as I have Raynauds and not very good circulation in my feet. If the doppler comes back fine, I'll have to try lowering the BP meds.

I'm really grateful for all your responses.
