Could be venous insufficiency

That would be a good question for a physical therapist to evaluate after a doctor rules out a more serious medical issue. The problem could be structural, or it could be muscle imbalance. One would be treated with stretching and strengthening exercises, the other might be treated with orthotics.
Have you talked to your provider about this? Some medications cvan also cause this side effect.
