Intermittent claudication is possible, but with one leg affected above the knee quite unlikely. I would not be starting this work up with a venogram.
Performa muscle? Is that something like the piriformis muscle. No need to add any response to THAT.
Sciatica is by far the most likely diagnosis and a good starting point for evaluation, although there are a lot of possibilities. Plain X ray will probably be unrevealing, most likely the OP will need an MRI and possibly an EMG.
Without a primary care doc, probably start at urgent care to get a referral, which SHOULD NOT be to a chiropractor or a manipulative osteopath
