A member asked:

I have sever leg pain with stiffness and swelling and redness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Leg pain: You need to go to an er to see if your swelling, redness and stiffness are signs of cellulitis, or an infection of the leg. Good as soon as you can, as you may need to be placed on antibiotics if you do have a cellulitis and you need to find out its cause.
