Circulatory issue??: Your rather vivid description sounds like you have a serious issue wherein the blood circulation in your leg from your knee down has been severely compromised. Get thee to a major hospital ER post haste and take aspirin right away. I hope that I am wrong but it sounds like you have a clot in the artery behind your knee. GO NOW!!!
