Have you had an EMG of your leg muscles and have you seen a neurologist and/or a physiatrist? From your self described symptoms I didn’t see a reason to see a vascular specialist or an orthopedic specialist at this point. The symptoms you note from PT are definitely diagnostic and a lead in to further investigation. You should enlist the help of your PCP to guide your care and be an advocate for you too.

Last week, I had a targeted ultrasound and a muscle biopsy.
The targeted ultrasound was for my lower leg. The neurologist found two spots that he determined to be a tibialis anterior muscle hernia. I am now waiting to see an orthopedic surgeon for the hernia.
I had a muscle biopsy on my gastrocnemius. The biopsy results ruled out any muscle disorders, but the main diagnosis was reinnervated skeletal muscle. The surgeon amended the report, noting that he himself was having a hard time understanding this diagnosis, given the years of normal/negative nerve testing that I have had.
