Having a think i'm dying episode [View all]

Last couple of months i've been having occasional aches and pains in my legs,for the last 5 days its been major ache/pain in left leg, the pain starts at the base of the spine and engulfs a major portion of the left hip and extends to the left knee. Sleep has now become a rare event, over the counter pain killers arent working..
Any one else have similar symptoms? if so what was it and what helped?
Thanks

PS, have doctors appointment Friday morning..
