Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
It may be a deep vein thrombosis or thromboflebitis. So doctor should do Doppler ultrasound of the blood vessel of both legs.
Other probaple diagnsosi is thyroid disease so check with your endocrinology specialist the thyroid gland.
I wish you quick recovery.
