There's no pain when I'm sitting at my computer. When I'm lying down, the pain starts till I find a comfortable position. The pain intensifies when I'm walking, but the worst pain hits when I'm standing at the intersection waiting for the light to change.
During one of your hospitalization they hung an IV of magnesium? You were having bad leg cramps at the time. Correct me if I am wrong but I think it was mag and your levels were low. If you have the money you might want to get some over the counter magnesium. Since you are comfortable sitting in a chair I am not sure it is a pinched nerve.
I am glad you have no redness or swelling so it is most likely not a blood clot or celulitis. Both could cause leg pain.
A stretching exercise I was taught when I had a pinched nerve was to lie flat, face down on the floor. While keeping your pelvis pressed against the floor use your arms to lift your shoulders up off the floor. You do not want to lift too far at first and always stop if you have an increase in pain.
These are some of my thoughts to try before you can see a doctor. A visit with your doctor is always the best course of action.
