Nerve: Sounds like you have a nerve entrapment in the leg. Something could be pressing on the nerve. Need to see a doctor for exam, possible imaging or vascular testing to find what is causing the problem. There maybe a problem with the circulation that is causing the leg to feel swollen but you can't see anything. See a doctor for further work up.
