Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having varicose vein in your leg giving rise to some vascular blockage in the leg.
There might be having some deep vein thrombosis as well.
Consult vascular surgeon and get examined.
Color Doppler might be helpful.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
