Respected sir, nice description but sad to say ots difficult to pin point this type of pain without examining the patient. There could be a lot of reasons for this.
1. Osteoarthritis of the proximal and distal joint.
2. Varicose veins
3. Arterial insufficiency.
4. Diabetic neuropathy.
So, i sincerely suggest you to kindly consult your nearest geriatric physician.
