Not clear, based upon your post, that you have confirmed musculoskeletal causes, and I would be concerned about a potential thrombophlebitis in your leg. Suggest a visit to an ER or urgent care center and, at the least, a non-invasive ultrasound study to assess potential blood clot. This could evolve into an embolism, so, do NOT delay your assessment.
