Oh boy, having burning pain in the legs after long immobility: it's very possible that you have deep vein thrombosis, which is a serious condition.

The thing that argues against DVT is that it is on both sides at once... that and lack of redness. But maybe the problem is more near the surface veins in your case.

The worst that could happen is that a piece breaks off and travels to the lungs, which  is ultra serious. That's called a pulmonary embolism.

I'd suggest a visit to the emergency room ASAP, unless you can get right in to your doctor when you read this. At minimum you could use a blood test called D-dimer, which detects evidence of a DVT.

Don't take this lightly.
