Hi,

Thank you for providing the brief history of you.

As the pain is in the posterior side of the lower 1/3 of the leg it needs a thorough clinical examination and may be an x-ray as well.

This pain can be due to either of the reasons - either plantar fasciitis or may be venous insufficiency.

Usually this pains are muscular and may be plantar fasciitis. For which taking a physical therapy should help improve the overall symptoms and regain the mobility as well.

Also, doing hot water fermentation should help reduce the pain and with simple exercises the problem can be solved.
