Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case I would consider it to be a deep vein thrombosis like condition!

Please continue your routine activities and urgently consult a surgeon for confirmation and anti-thrombotic therapy like aspirin/heparin etc.

I suggest you to go for a doppler study for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
