I injured my back 2 weeks ago. i have had muscle weakness, pain, numbness and tingling, and swelling in my right leg ever since. is this normal?

Seek medical care: You are describing a radiculopathy.U may have a herniated disc that caused the back pain and is pressing on the nerves that go to the leg.Weakness/ numbness is evidence of neurologic compromise and needs immediate attention before damage is permanent .Go in to ur doc.
