See a Dr!: I cannot tell what is causing your symptoms, but you should have it seen by a Dr as soon as possible! Possibilities include cellulitis (infection), thrombophlebitis (blood clot) or even sciatica (a pinched nerve). There are other possibilities, but the first two I mentioned are the most serious and need to be ruled out, especially if there is swelling and redness where it hurts!
