hello,
thank you for asking this question.
Hot, sore, swollen legs during and after exercise may be caused by thrombophlebitis -- arterial swelling caused by a blood clot.
I advice you to take a doppler ultrasouds examination of your blood vessels of your leg. The right treatement for this are the anticoagulants.
Kind regards
