HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really understand your worry, as such you do not have any other problem like diabetes or cardiac problem then it is nothing to worry, the leg problem could be due to arthritis changes that happens in female patients after 40 years of age but with the right treatment it goes away, here I would advise you to start Diclofenac 5 mg just one tab. in a day stop hanging your leg try to keep it in elevated position as long as it is possible it will get alright have nice day.
