Hard to assess in absence of exam but ponder edema, vascular issues, anterior compartment syndrome. Obtain a thorough evaluation ASAP and if worsening go to urgent care

Check to see if fluid retention within the veins of that leg occurs after sitting. Measure the girth of your left calf and see if it's larger than the right after sitting a while. If so the valves in the left leg are weak. Wearing compression stockings would then help.
