It sounds like thrombophlebitis or inflammation of a superficial vein. Have you had obvious visible veins called varicose veins earlier in that leg? You can try compressio therapy with Class II Compression stockings and local application of Thrombophob or Heparin ointment. Also get a Color Doppler of Venous system of the affected limb to rule out any other cause for the same. Take care.
