What Causes Thigh Burning Pain Up To The Calf?

I have a burning pain in the back of my thighs which is traveling down behind my knee onto my calf only while sitting. I sit about 8 hrs daily. however whenever I move around or walk the pain goes away. Also each morning I walk about 2 miles. Any thoughts on this issue?

hi
There is probably some sciatic nerve pressure or mild compression on sitting for long hours which releases on standing or walking.Remedy is get up for 5 minutes every hour and do mild self massage to thighs and short wals for 2-3 minutes.
alternatively take methycobalamin or neurobion forte tabs daily for 3 weeks
