Hello and welcome to healthcare magic!!!
Hi renny, Are you a smoker? it could be due to blockage of circulation in the legs. It is termed Thromboangiitis Obliterans (TAO). It could be what is called claudication pain does the pain improve with walking for a distance or does it get worse? Since your job requires you to sit for long durations.
It is better you consult a doctor and get a doppler of the legs done to check for the circulation since you say it is relieved by a massage.
take care.

Hi Doc, Yes i was a smoker and have quit now. And yes, when i walk the pain actually reduces. I go for a walk every morning and hence can clearly make the difference. While at office i do sit for prolonged hours. What do you think i should be doing so as to get rid of this ailment.
ok it would be better if you got a doppler done for the lower limbs to rule out vascular cause.
Depending on the result the management can be done.
