Foot numbness + leg pain + new visible vein = what?

I'm a bicyclist. One day I noticed numbness in the ball of my left foot. It felt like when you cross your legs and temporarily cut off circulation. I figured I just had my cycling shoes on too tight. But I also started noticing pain in my calf. I took a look at my leg and found a new dark vein had appeared on my calf. My initial thought was I had either a blood clot or a burst vein in my leg. It definitely suggested some kind of vascular issue because the numbness and the pain and the vein appeared simultaneously. But the symptoms don't match phlebitis.

I had an MRI yesterday which showed no vascular issues or muscle tears or anything else. This has been going on for 5 weeks and I'm getting tired of it.

I know it's a long shot to ask this on YA, but do you have any other ideas what this might be?
