The options include:

A) Restricted blood supply. Lower extremity angiogram would check it out.
And the myo -facial work would open up the vessels a bit and relieve the pain
for awhile.

B) Nerve pressure. Muscle tension on femoral or sciatic nerves could do
this. Again the myo-facial work would relieve it for a while.

C) A genetic myopathy disorder. Unlikely but does he have any family
history or strange disease that occurs later in life.

D) Some gait training may be in order. Perhaps he locks his knees as he
walks and comes down hard on his heel in his stride. A video or observation may
help. Practicing walking with the knees bent, like a sterotypical old third
world person who looks like they are shuffling but they are not, they are
merely walking with knees and hips soft and providing the spring action to
absorb
body weight without the straight leg jolt to the joints......this kind of gait
training..........

Let us know what you discover.....
