Suggest Treatment For Wrist Pain

hi. I am 35 and noticed a bit of discomfort around my left wrist. I feel like heat and a bit of pain better described like a sting and I feel like if my arm is getting a bit numb with less strength. i noticed a swollen vein, and if I touch it, even very light it hurts. Should I get concerned? Should I call my doctor?
