Answers:
Go to the doctor mate - sounds like it could be a blood clot/deep vein thrombosis/embolism.

Needs to be looked at, but if it is a blood clot, making sure you get it dealt with before it travels to the lungs or heart is essential.

It could possibly be a deep vein thrombosis. You need to see a doctor asap. Call NHS direct right now - they may consider it an emergency.
