Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
This could either be a peripheral artery disease with clots or it could be deep vein thrombosis. The diagnosis can be made by angiograms and color dopplars. It could also be a case of thrombophlebitis or inflammation of a vein. Please consult a vascular specialist.  
Hope this helps. Take care!
