My legs are making me worry

Over the past few weeks, my lower legs/ankles have felt very weak.  I have developed strange splotches--rash-like--on my shins, and my spider veins are increasing.  I'm overweight, and have a family history of diabetes.  I also have experienced swelling around my ankles.  I'm 43, but have no medical insurance, so I haven't seen a doctor.  I'm a bit scarred.  I also get winded pretty easily, but I attribute that to being a 6' 250# man.  Should I run to the nearest ER?
