Brief Answer:
show to an emergency room immediately
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
You need to show in an emergency room as soon as possible. As this could be a sign of ischemia and if delayed may lead to loss of the affected portion.
It looks more like a compartment syndrome, but i am not able to reach the cause, as per the history given.
Don't delay anymore.
