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.

Sounds strange. Call your doctor and see if they have someone on call that you can ask this question to and if you can make an appointment. If they don't have an on call doctor, call the emergency room and see if they recommend that you come in or wait until Wednesday. It's better to be safe than sorry. Hope you feel better soon.

Leg swelling should NEVER be ignored. Go to urgent care or ER now and find out what is going on before something more serious happens.

please call your Doctor and ask. Your doctor should have someone on call. Call !!!! ER may be a long wait, but if you have your doctor call in ahead for you it maybe not. This doesn't sound so good , please call and don't wait any longer.
