Usually an emergency: Severe leg pain in an uninjured college-aged person is often an emergency because doctors want to evaluate to see if there is a leg blood clot. Such a clot can break off a chunk, flow to the lungs, and be fatal. There are other causes of such leg pains, but always rule out the potentially lethal ones first. Bring any current medications to show the ER doctor, and explain the symptom timeline.
