Hello,
It is called intermittent claudication. It happens due to deep vein thrombosis. The typical description of your symptoms says there are no clues of bone cancer at all and nothing to worry about it.
Kindly get your vein leg Doppler done to know what all arteries are blocked and depending on the report you can get treated with medication. Please get back to us with relevant reports for the complete treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Archana
