Hi,
You have not given the result of varicose Doppler.
I think due to long sitting in flight there might be clot formation due to vascular obstruction giving rise to this problem.
There might be having Deep vein thrombosis.
Do not wait for your doctor and consult Vascular surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
