R/O DVT/RHABDO: DVT=Blood Clot would cause unilateral leg pain and swelling. If pain has recurred this needs prompt evaluation. A Doppler US or LE will define the anatomy. Other conditions to evaluate are LYMPHEDEMA/RSD(REFLEX SYMPATHETIC DYSTROPHY). Also a full clotting W/U. You needs a prompt exam and through W/U. Check INR to evaluate treatment. CPK level to evaluate component of Rhabdomyolysis.
