Hello and thank you for your question.
It would be good for you to use some antifungal cream on the rash on your leg. If your left ankle and foot are swollen you need to see a doctor to make sure you do not have a blood clot in your leg. As far as the wrist and shoulder pain try some acetaminophen and ask your doctor for advice and possible referral to physical therapist.
Regards
