General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and welcome.

It could quite possibly be a nerve entrapment or compression, and is most probably triggerred by rigorous sports or physical activity, weight gain, poor nutritional level, etc.

I would recommend a visit to either a physician or vascular surgeon for further management.

Best wishes.
