Need evaluation: Please see a doctor. Swollen leg is not same as pain. Pain has your attention, swelling has mine.

See a doctor asap: Sounds like sciatic nerve involvement or a potential herniate disk in back. Vague and need a thorough history and exam asap. Don't wait too long because symptoms could get worse and treatment may not be as effective.
