Dear Patient,
you don't mention if it is upper or lower leg/ calf. In any case i recommend an urgent ultrasound of the veins to check for thrombosis with the history and symptoms you are describing. This can be done fairly quick so you don't have to spend too much time on it. Hope you get better soon, if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
