Hello,

It is quite common after heavy physical exertion and it is due to venous pooling. You can use compression stocking and try to elevate the foot end of the bed while sleeping. An ultrasound Doppler is required to rule out other causes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
