Ultrasonography/colour Doppler leg will help to rule out vascular occlusion.
I will advise you to do MRI spine to see for any nerve compression. Consulting your doctor infection /cellulitis can be ruled out; antibiotic can be started according to examination.
If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level. You need to improve immunity and vascular supply to leg.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
