Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to HCM. I understand your concern.

Besides the obvious origins of leg pain, such as bad position or trauma or impact, I would suggest you to explore the vascular side of the problem, to find out whether there is one or not. Do you suffer from varicous veins (swollen calf veins)? I recommend you to do an echo Doppler study of the lower extremities, also a angio computed tomography with contrast agent, of this region. It is because of the blockages in your coronary arteries, no matter what percentage they are, which is an indicator that the atherosclerotic process is present in your body. Therefore, we have to search also for atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease. When you have your results back, I recommend a consult with a vascular surgeon.

I hope I was helpful. Take care.

Best regards,
Dr. Meriton
