Yes,: because it could be deep vein thrombophlebitis or delayed infection. You should see a doctor for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

Delay no Longer.: Be concerned; be very concerned. Ten days has been more than enough time for an appreciable resolution. As it seems though, things are getting worse. This no time to be playing the "wait and see" game. Left untreated, the consequences could be catastrophic at worse. To remove all doubt, have the leg examined immediately.
