You : You should be seen soon by your regular doctor or consider going to the emergency room. The fact that you are worsening, not improving, with time is concerning. In particular, the onset of what we call "radicular symptoms" (i.e. Down your leg), is worrisome and requires evaluation. You don't mention your age, medications or other medical problems, but particularly if you are elderly, suffer from other major medical problems or on medications such as "blood thinners" you need to get seen by a doctor soon. Good luck!
