Brief Answer:
Provide additional information, evaluation is needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
Since when you are facing this problem?
Do you smoke? Do you regularly exercise? Do you have sedentary lifestyle?
I would like to know do you have swelling, warmth, redness, paleness in the affected part.
Without examination it is difficult to say what it is, it is better to get yourself examined by the doctor. Based on the examination, may ask you to have a doppler just to remove that possibility out of your mind.

Presently I would suggest you not to sit for long time, be XXXXXXX
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.

I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you.
Take care.
