Last Sunday, I awoke w/tenderness on the right side of my lower back. It felt like a bruise, but w/no outward signs of bruising. It didn't hurt enough for me to think that it was a big deal.
A few days later, my right thigh felt senstive to the touch and even painful if I pressed down on it, but not all the time.
Friday, I took a long car ride to go out of town. My legs felt weird, but I thought it was from sitting too long. However, when I took my pants off, I could see my legs were severely swollen. I've never had swollen legs before.
Now, it seems that the area where my back is tender, which has also moved down to the top of my buttock, is "pulsing" every once in a while. My legs will reduce if I elevate them, but as soon as I sit or stand they swell again.
I don't know if I should go to the ER or wait until I go home on Wed. and see my doctor. I'm having normal bowl movements and urinating fine. No fever. I was feeling slight nausea last week and abnormally thirsty.
