Brief Answer:
It can be related to DVT or some injuries.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

He has history of deep vein thrombosis in right leg.
So there is chance that deep vein thrombosis may recur at any site. It can in right leg or foot or even in left leg or foot.

If he has any history of trauma or injury then it can be some muscular problem.

So its better to consult your doctor once and get examined.

Hope I have answered your question.
