Hi,

Definitely, visit doctor immediately.

Only the doctor who will do your physical examination can tell you the treatment.

He may advise you certain investigations like blood urea, serum creatinine etc.

Also he may check that vessel which is causing you problem.

Till then elevate limb, wear stockinet or compression bandage.

Thanks.
