I woke up in pain from my leg. it has gotten worse thru the day. i have one spot above my ankle red n hot to the touch and another on my upper thigh. i cannot put weight on leg at all. the pain is almost unbearable. and i'm feeling flu like symptoms?

Usually an emergency: A middle-aged woman with new, bad leg pain from her ankle to her thigh is usually an emergency because doctors want to evaluate the patient to see if there is a blood clot in the leg. Such a clot can break off a chunk, flow to the lungs, and be fatal. There are other causes of leg pain and swelling, but always rule out the potentially lethal ones first. A serious infection can cause such pain too.
