Laura, I wanted to see what I could find on the internet about your symptoms because I think it's something that you shouldn't mess around with and you should see the doc. as soon as possible. I have had a couple of leg problems and remember researching what could be wrong and there are a few serios things that it could've been but it turned out to be nothing serious. So yours could be nothing too but you should still go in to make sure. I am not trying to scare you anymore but if you're already scared you should trust your instincts and go in right away anyways. The web address is http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003104.htm. Hope this helps. Take care.
