Not enough info: You should be evaluated by a doctor in person and do it asap. Go to a clinic if no insurance.

Lots: Of possibilities. Unfortunately, an evaluation is warrented. Go to a free clinic if you have no insurance, if any are around you, otherwise, most urgent cares can help you to work out payment plans. Good luck.
