Brief Answer:
suggest possibility of Deep vein thrombosis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Your symptoms suggest possibility of Deep vein thrombosis.

Ultrasonography/colour Doppler leg will help to rule pathology leading warm sensation.
Another possibility Due to compression of nerve root there can be altered sensation in your leg.
I will advise you to do MRI spine to see for any nerve compression.
Consulting your doctor infection /cellulitis can be ruled out; antibiotic can be started according to examination.

For these symptoms neurotropic medication can be started.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level
