General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

Taking into account all your health problems, I highly recommend to see an angiologist (specialist for blood vessels) and run Doppler ultrasound of blood vessels in your leg.

Keep your leg raised. Avoid standing for too long.
Wish fast recovery.
