Hello madam/sir, welcome to medical care magic.
A artery in leg 20 cms below knee is blocked.To manage the blood supply to the distal part of leg and foot, blood is going through alternate route. also because of blockage,reverse blood flow is also there.Better relieve that occlusion through surgery. If not now,future definitely symptoms increases.
With this I hope I cleared your doubts. Take care. Good health
