Leg weirdness.
For about the past week or so, I've been feeling some soreness in my right leg - more or less as if I'd slept on it wrong, except that I usually sleep on my left side.
Then the other day I noticed a patch of irritated skin, kind of like a bug bite, on the outer surface of my right hip. And today I found some small patches of rash on the back of the thigh and top of the foot.
There's no acute pain, I don't have any numb spots and I can move my leg and wiggle all my toes just fine, and I can walk normally. I'm not running a temperature or feeling dizzy. So I'm hoping it's nothing too serious, but I am in the process of trying to find a doctor.
It's been a couple of years since my last exam at OHSU and I don't have a primary physician assigned there; I tried going through the phone and the website but was stymied by the bureaucracy and unable to find the "I WANT TO SEE A DOCTOR" button. I live near two other medical complexes - Providence and Kaiser - so I might try my luck as a walk-in tomorrow.
Wish me luck!
