Brief Answer:
A number of causes

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but this could be due to a number of causes. The most common of which at your age are vitamin b12 difficiency and vascular insufficiency due prolonged sitting.

I would recommend that you get vitamin b 12 supplements either daily tablets or weekly injection for one month. I would also recommend that you stand up and take few steps every 30 minutes of continuous sitting to avoid vascular supply stasis.

I hope you find this helpful.

Brief Answer:
Venous congestion

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am. hello again.. since there is no redness or swelling and there is no history of trauma then this is probably due to venous congestion which occur as a result of prolonged standing. I would recommend that you elevate your leg at night over a pillow and try to reduce standing hours as possible. I hope you find this helpful
