Hello,
Your symptoms could be suggestive of a deep vein thrombosis. For this reason, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam, D - dimmer plasma levels and a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
