Leg pain and dizziness

So I'm not sure what to say, but basically for the past 7 months I started having constant leg pain, accompanied by light headed feelings if I stand or walk for more than an hour. I have of course been to the doctor, several of them in fact, and aside from me being rather normal on all tests they could give me no insight as to what was causing my affliction. The most recent doctor, the neurologist, seems to believe I may have Restless Leg Syndrome, and has been treating me for it, but none of the different medicines he's tried have done much for me. Besides, as far as I can tell RLS doesn't explain my light headed/dizzy feelings, and that's the big problem for me. I can't work at jobs where I have to stand up. I quickly get to a point where I feel like I will faint, so even at home I rarely do anything that requires me to stand up, such as washing dishes, or cleaning. I HATE IT. Honestly I feel like a useless lump sometimes, though my roommate always says it's alright.
I have applied for state assistance and I do get food stamps, however, since there is nothing explainably wrong with me, I do not get unemployment nor disability benefits, and I am required to look for work, though there seem to be very few jobs I can actually do, as without something explaining what's wrong with me most jobs cannot accomodate my need to sit down regularly.
So I'm asking for advice. I've talked to a lot of my friends about this stuff and have gotten several condolences and ideas already, so don't worry about repeating anything, it might have merit :3 I just wanted to vent a little about this, and thanks everyone who reads this.
