Hello,
It might be due to occlusive peripheral vascular disease, where the blood supply to the lower limb is compromised and give rise to pain.
Consult a vascular surgeon and plan for an arterial Doppler. Other possibilities like peripheral neuropathy has to be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
