Brief Answer:
Vascular problem
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Based on the symptoms you have, I suspect there be a blockade to venous blood return from your leg.
Such problem can occur when there is a clot blocking the vein or varicose veins .
I suggest you to visit a Vascular surgeon and get a Dopplar scan of the leg done.
Waiting for too long (days) could be dangerous.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
Please do ask if any doubts.
