If I was you, I would see an orthopedic spine specialist to check lumbar spine and hip/knee specialist to ask to have MRIs of lumbar spine, sacrum, and pelvis/hips/hamstring connections. I have many spine and gluteal/hamstring tendon issues and any compression, inflammation, injury can radiate down into legs/knees/feet.

Have you had a neuromuscular specialist do EMG/nerve conduction studies of your lower limbs to check nerve health/communications?

I had a bad left hip. I also had left knee pain. After I had my hip replaced my knee pain went away. So this definitely could be referred pain.

I also had non symptomatic spinal and lumbar stenosis. When that finally became symptomatic, it did so by radiating down my legs.

It is very hard to identify the cause of this type of pain. If you can do so, the Mayo Clinic would be an excellent place to start. Otherwise see if you can see both a neurologist and a rheumatologist who like to analyze puzzles.
