Hi Sandy,
This sounds extremely dangerous, please go to the ER or call your doc asap.
Tis enough of an emergency to warrant an ER visit, and perhaps your pain could be treated as well.
Sorry I could not be of more help, but I really felt compelled to leave an answer to your question because it sounds serious.
Best wishes to you,

sdsno has DVT (deep vein thrombosis) and while a bar of soap has been known to work (oddly enough!) for leg cramps, one does NOT take DVT ligjtly, it can cause death. Just a heads up. If a clot becomes lose it can lodge in the heart/lungs or brain.
