HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the history being given here is old one but it is not related with the present symptoms that you have, here the differential diagnosis need to ruled out for deep vein thrombosis, some it could be varicose vein, till then try to keep the leg in elevated position (It may also be intermittent claudication) any NSAID can be taken for pain hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
