Why Am I Having Burning Pain In My Thigh?

Ive been having this weird pain in my thigh and calf, should i go to the doctor?
- throbbing pain sometimes in thigh and calf by varicose vein that's from my thigh to the middle of my calf (it just recently made its way to my calf)
- sometimes when i bend my knee i get a burning pain on the back of my leg
- one of my toes has gone numb while standing twice now.
- a week ago i had pretty good size bruise on the varicose vein and i didn't hit my leg
- while standing i get a burning feeling sometimes by my knee
- its not like a really bad pain id say like a 4 out of 10
- went to the movies the other day and i could not sit still cause i kept getting this weird jolting burning feeling in my thigh by the varicose vein

Hi, there!

Its recommended to use compression socks to avoid venous insufficiency in Your legs.
Investigation of arterial vessels is needed too.
The burning sensation cause is blood flow (arterial/venous) insufficiency.
Duplex-sonography investigation can confirm it

I hope this helps
