Absolutely see MD!: most commonly pulled muscle/tendons and strain, but depending on family history, smoking, medications/drugs, clotting disorders, etc what you describe can be from more serious underlying conditions e.g. clots in vessels, "cysts"/edema (fluid filling), even spine/nerve problems so see MD as soon as possible - emergent if red flags e.g. breathing difficulty, chest pain, fever.

2 back surgeries in ~1 month. Wondering if increased swelling@L5-S1 from overdoing it could cause severe burning/cramping pain behind knee, in calf/ankle, & thigh? Have to lie down & hard to walk/sit.
