Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms suggest either edema or arterial occlusion.
You should be examined by a doctor to rule out occlusion, which usually presented as pain, pallor, pulselessness, paresthesia and paralysis.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
