Why Am I Experiencing Severe Leg And Foot Pain And Can I Wait Until Morning To Address This With A Doctor When It Is Keeping Me Up At Night?
am experiencing severe leg and foot pain. My blood n pressure is 151 over 85. I hit my leg on a hard object which caused a golf ball size knot below the knee. My leg is red and swollen and somewhat hot to the touch. I am also out of my hydrochlorothiazide medication. I have not had it for the past few days. The pain is keeping me awake and unable to sleep. Can I wait till morning to address the issue with my doctor?

Hello,
You can wait, apply ice pack, take any OTC analgesic, keep your leg elevated, and visit the hospital in the morning.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
