Could be vascular and could be other things. Your doctor will evaluate it and order the proper testing if needed
Hello Darrel

Thanks for the question.

Leg pain is not a specific symptom just for vascular problems. There are many different types of tissues in your legs: Muscle, Tendons, bone, Skin, nerves, Arteries and Veins.

Issues with any of these, or a combination of these can cause similar symptoms. If your pain does not subside, I would start by going to your Primary care doctor. If he or She feels it may be a vascular issue, then have them refer you to a specialist.

If you are in the Central Florida are, I'll be happy to see you.
Vascular pain in legs usually occurs with ambulating. Called claudication.
