Brief Answer:
Need to rule out thrombosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Given your symptoms we should rule out deep vein thrombosis first. This condition is characterized by clots in blood vessels leading to pain, swelling and redness. A Doppler of leg veins is required to rule this out.
Other possibilities are infection, fluid retention, etc. For this we can do appropriate investigations after examining clinically.
There is nothing among above which can't be treated, provided we have the diagnosis first.
Hope this helps.
Regards
