A member asked:
I got bit or stung by something and the muscle in my leg is swelled and/or tensed. hurts to walk on it after a while, is it possible for it to be an allergic reaction?

If you have an insect bite which can cause the muscle swollen, the point of entry (where the insect bit) should be visualized with some redness around that. If you do not see that but the leg is swollen and tender with warmness you may have cellulitis. Both conditions are usually self limited, you can use cold compress and tylenol or ibuprofen for pain. If symptoms get worse, see your doctor then.
