What wrong when your leg is swollen hard & turn dark?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Concerning.: When one of your legs is swollen and turning dark, we worry about problems with the blood supply, perhaps with clot formation. You absolutely need to see your doctor about this asap.

SEVERAL THINGS TO: Consider. Blood clot is the first and foremost that needs ruled out. If it travels to your lungs it can kill you. Other conditions include poor circulation through the arteries, poor chronic vein flow, infection/inflammation, etc. Please see a doctor asap or your nearest E.R.
