Hello,
There's is a chance of getting thrombosis in the leg, nerve damage or cellulitis or edema.
So you have to evaluate it by color Doppler and angiogram. Keep limb on elevation, use paracetamol and cold compression.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
