arthritis and spine alignment

Hi All
My wife is 20 years old, ever since I met her she could never stand or walk for a long period of time without feeling extreme pain on her feet, ankle, calf, and even up to her thighs. We are talking about 20 ~ 30 minutes of walking or standing. I mean I get sore after a few hours of walking or standing but never pain, specially not at her age should she feel such fatigue so fast. I thought she had iron deficiency, or even arthritis, but after her blood test came back normal, and the doctor said she doesn't have arthritis I was starting to think she have joint issues or maybe her spine needs alignment. The general doctors just keep giving her pain killers, it really doesn't help. Please give me some advise on where I should be taking her, or what I should do. She's 5'4 weights 130lbs, she try to get more exercises but her condition makes it difficult.

No, let the orthapedist order the xray.

Remember, surgeons know surgery -- that's how they treat.

But it's a start to get a diagnosis. Exhaust other means of more conservative treatment before submitting to surgery.

Thanks for the reply.
Yea it doesn't matter what shoes she wears, even the ones that are a little lose it still hurts. It hurts more when she walks on slop or in elevated environment. I didn't pay too much attention to when she was walking on the beach to see if it was more or less uncomfortable, she feel it's more or less the same as walking on normal grounds. Turning and change direction doesn't significantly increase the pain but she can feel it being pressured.

Will any orthopedist work and give us a straight answer? should we get an X-ray before we go?

Thanks again

The pain comes no matter what shoe style she is wearing? I've known the wrong pair of shoes to cause severe back pain.

How about walking barefoot up and down a beach, especially a beach with a slope. As she changes direction, she changes her weight distribution. I wonder if this changes her symptoms?

Regardless, I'd suggest that she see an orthopedist who specializes in hips, knees, ankles -- the lower extremities. This would be a good place to start, and even if this is a back problem, the orthopod will get it sorted out.
