Swollen leg? odd one.

Ok I put on a pair of jeans yesterday (Sat) and one leg was loose the other very very tight. At first I tought it was the jeans but tried another pair and they were the same. My solution was fuck jeans wear trackies instead, but on going to bed last night i discovered that the feeling my my swollen leg seemed to be nummed some what.

I went to bed and rubbed some arnica gel on it in the jhope it would ease. Due to kids fighting this week I havent trained so it doesnt seem to be a training injury. Tonight it hasnt eased any and after measureing both legd the swollen one is 2-3" bigger and still no real feeling (pity it wasnt my cock ffs). now I am a wee bit worried as I cant feel the leg from the hip right down to the toes. I have tried sticking a pin into both big toes one hurts like hell the other is like a fuckin pin cushion with no feeling. I am starting to worry I might have some sort of clot, but have been on the beer today and can't drive to the docs etc.

Any ideas as to how to get the swelling down a bit before work tomorrow?

Watching for discolouration, have been for a day or so and it seems fine. No point ringing NHS 24hr as Ive many beers drank now so the doc aint gonna like me lol.

FFs off the fags near 3 months now and its been the sickest 3 mnths of my life. Bleeding gums, pin and needles in my arms when I wake up, fingers going numb in the middle of the night ffs, better off on the smokes.

Will keep an eye on it, got hte mate to get me 3 big bags of ice there outta the CO-Op so we'll see what they can do for it.

UPDATE - leg has gone down but been to the docs yesterday for serious abdo pains, constant dull pain in my lower abdo, when I bounce, walk down stairs hard on my heels of sit down heavily I get a shooting pain frrom the back of my testicles right up to me belly button area. sore a fuck too, and I have a fairly high pain threshold.

Doc can help, so far all tests have come back all clear, they want me to call them on Friday afternoon it its still sore ffs. They thik the swollen leg might have been conected but are putting it all down to 1 of 4 options ffs

1- possible hernia starting
2 - possible ulcer forming
3- inflamation in the epicidrail (sp) wee tube from your testes running up into belly)
4- or 4 the feckin best one - I have gained a stone in 12 weeks since stopping the smokes and they said "I could just be all your inardw stretching. 2ld a week ffs not a stone overnight

I get that type of pain now and again, but it is always shortlived thing and i just tend to wait it out till it goes, but when i get it it feels like someone is squeezing my balls from the inside

I feel for you mate i hope you get it sorted

TML thats the very pain, the balls themselves dont hurt but under/behind them does ffs. I had this last week and it went in a few hours, now Ive had it for 4 days. Hope it goes soon.

Nah mate, can pee and poop fine, and nno more regular than normal. That urine samples taken and all came back clear, same for STI's.

No idea where the Doc thinks the ulcer is, mind you her hernia coughing test thing gave no signs of a hernia yet she still reckons it might be a hernia. Or maybe this wee tube (epidermus thing). they aint got a clue, meanwhile I got sore balls and belly and cant tank the missus.
