Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. What you described could be venous thrombosis or lymphangitis. In either case you require immediate attention and should see a doctor or go to the casualty department of a hospital, at your earliest. Wish you good health!
