HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Your concern and query is appreciated, it seems to be a case of serious trauma may be neurological damage, soft tissue inflammation, muscle fiber damaged, vascular bed crushed, these are the type of very serious injury, such injury could cause the pain even from the slight touch or disturbances, but with proper treatment and management it comes around, hope this information helps.
