Hello,
I will suggest you to relax as the symptoms you have told is about either a lymphatic lines inflammation or great saphenous vein infection. You need to take pain killers and anti staphylococcus antibiotic like amoxycillin+clavulanic acid. Try to find any cut, bruise, bite along this lower limb. If no cause is still found, do get your blood sugars done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
