Brief Answer:
A number of causes
Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but this could be due to a number of causes. The most common of which at your age are vitamin b12 difficiency and vascular insufficiency due prolonged sitting.
I would recommend that you get vitamin b 12 supplements either daily tablets or weekly injection for one month. I would also recommend that you stand up and take few steps every 30 minutes of continuous sitting to avoid vascular supply stasis.
I hope you find this helpful.

Dear Ma’am. hello again.. since there is no redness or swelling and there is no history of trauma then this is probably due to venous congestion which occur as a result of prolonged standing. I would recommend that you elevate your leg at night over a pillow and try to reduce standing hours as possible. I hope you find this helpful
