Get examined: you will need a physicial exam, x-rays of your lumbo-sacral spine, nerve conduction studies and possibly an MRI of the LS spine. I would suggest an orthopedic evaluation.

I was out for a walk today and noticed that my left leg was a bit sore. I looked down and noticed that my left leg from the knee down was larger than my right. What could be the possible causes and should I get it checked out or wait to see what happens Not sure if I should schedule an appointment?
