Brief Answer:
Possible Venous disorder?Need Colour Doppler scan.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I understand your concern.

You possibly seem to have peripheral vascular disease.

This could be rest pain indicating a possible venous disorder.

All you need is an early Colour Doppler Duplex Scan.

A venous thrombus has to be ruled out.

A mixed arterial and venous disorder is also a possibility.

Past surgical history on knee is not related to your current issue.

Further management is based on test results.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.
