Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

And after reviewing your case history, I'm of the following opinion:

1. As a couple of days has gone by and still symptoms are there it could be a possibility which requires urgent emergency consultation with a vascular surgeon for further medical or surgical management:
i. Deep Vein Thrombosis [DVT] i.e. post-thrombotic or postphlebitic syndrome
ii. till then one can go for compression stockings, pain management with acetaminophen

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
