Hello 

I have studied your case.

As per your history and symptoms possibility of cellulitis 

Consulting your doctor infection /cellulitis can be confirmed, antibiotic can be started according to examination.

If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery.
MRI and EMG-NCV study may help you.
