Swollen legs all of a sudden

Ok, so all of a sudden out of nowhere today, both my legs and feet swelled up and have gotten worse as the day progresses.  Right now I am trying bending them and they hurt and wont bend and when I push on them it makes a dent that wants to stay forever....
Anybody no what I'm dealing with???  I would really appreciate it, and anyone know how to fix it I would REALLY love to know how.  Oh and my legs ache???!!??!!

You need to go to the emergency room, as of yesterday. Not to an appointment with your physician three days from now.  There is a possibility you have a life-threatening problem. Not necessarily, but not worth taking the chance.

It could be any number of things from fluid retention, diabetes, to DVT.
I suggest seeing your doctor A.S.A.P. Until you see your doctor I suggest when siting or in bed raise your legs so they are higher than your heart.
