Hi,
As your one leg is affected and other all reports are normal, there might be possibility of having some vascular problem.
There might be Varicose vein or some deep vein thrombosis.
Consult vascular surgeon and get examined.
Color Doppler may help to detect your condition.
Raise your affected leg while taking rest.
Ok and take care.
