Many things: Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person. He/she needs to listen to you, perform an examination and possibly run labs or other tests. That's the only way he/she can find out what's going on and what to do about it.

Hot and itchy: It may be due to venous stasis, i.e. Accumulation of blood in your lower extremities. You might try wearing elastic stocking to relieve the condition.
