Brief Answer:
Veins and arteries ultrasound should be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Such symptom can be a sign of chronic arterial ischemia of your legs. Veins thrombosis should be always considered. Pulse check and legs palpation does not prove anything and does not rule out either. Please note that the only test to rule out both conditions is veins AND arteries doppler ultrasound.
Please have this tests done. Without it, you can not be sure about the reason.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
