Answer:
you should seek medical attention as soon as possible...those are common symptoms of a blood clot in a vein in your leg. An ultrasound is recommended to rule it out. If there isn't a blood clot, you are probably retaining water in your leg. But usually that happens in both legs...so the next explanation could be poor valves that do not work properly inside the veins in your legs causing pooling of blood in the lower legs, which could ultimately lead to a blood clot. Definitely go and have a doctor order an ultrasound doppler exam to check for a blood clot. And don't wait.

go get it checked out. you might ave some type of circulatory impairment, like deep vein thrombosis.

You migth want to get it checked, you might be retaining water or have kidney failures. I am no expert but, my mom had kidney problems and her legs were getting pink and swollen.

Sorry im no doctor... but maybe your legs are trying to adjust to the fact that you are standing every day for work and sounds like you haven't done something like that in a while so it could be because of that. Couple of months is a long time... I think it'll be best to visit the doctors though just to make sure everything really is okay. It's better to be on the safe side by getting help rather than leaving your thighs loose wondering what's wrong with it.

You need to see a doctor ASAP. It could be serious, it sounds like you are not getting good circulation, and this could lead to other serious problems.

---

Your symptoms suggest a blood clot. You need to go to the ER; taking an aspirin would be a good idea right now. Please go immediately.

sounds like it could be a deep vein trombosis see a doctor
if it is a trombosis (clot) and and part of it breaks loose it becomes a embolism which can travel through the heart and block the arteries to the lungs that is a pulmonary embolism.if you don't go to a doctor and have a pulmonary embolism you will be meeting friends of mine they have a ambulance with red flashing lights and siren.
