Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the leg that you are having is likely to be due to a vascular insufficiency. Deep vein thrombosis also needs to be ruled out. It is best to consult a physician for a physical examination.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
