hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history.
As per the history this appears to me more of a venous insufficiency. I will advice you to undergo a thorough clinical examination and Doppler test for the venous system to rule out the venous insufficiency.
Also, there can be a possibility of the pinched nerve but less common by the appearance of your symptoms. but getting a Thorough clinical examination will help us diagnose and start the medical management.
