I'm A Woman, Age 73, 5'7" 208lbs, Have High Blood

I'm a woman, age 73, 5'7" 208lbs, have high blood pressure (take medication) This past Thursday I received a trauma injury to my left leg below the knee. Friday I had swelling, warmth & pain in that area. I believe this is phlebitis, which I have had in my life. I've been home treating, elevating leg, ibuprofen, compression stockings. Being a holiday weekend I did not think I needed to go to urgent care or the ED. It is now 4 days into this injury & I'm highly considering a visit to my primary care doctor. Please advise & thank you.
