I suspect you have venous insufficiency or varicose veins. Ask your primary care physician to refer you to a vascular lab to get a venous reflux study of your veins, then an appointment with a vascular surgeon who works with veins. In the meantime, knee high support stockings of 15-20mmHg would help alleviate your pain. Good luck!
