Brief Answer:
Vascular
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The problem seem to be about the drainage of the blood into the thigh.
I think you should get color doppler of the vessels on the left side. This helps to understand if there is a problem with the veins on that side of the leg.
I suggest getting to a surgeon who can examine and order a color doppler test.
It is not good to get the massage done or take medicines without understanding the nature of the problem.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
