Try this exercise daily before sleep
elevate your leg and do ankle pump exercise ( flextion and extention ) 15 to 30 times then drop your leg below bed level for 30 secounds
repeat this 3 times
if pain improves you need a vascularity doctor
if pain is worth then you should see an orthopedic doctor
however in both cases you will need physical therapy
Hope i could be of help
Good Luck
