  U can not wait...if u have a fever call ur Dr they do have an emergency # and will be contacted...but call and ask what u should do, at the very least let them know u have a fever...something is not right.

Hi...did u go to the er? I have similar issues, but the swelling isnt extreme, and I was curious to know. R u ok, I hope. Did u find out the cause?

I believe for us chiarians any reason that isnt normal for us, I said normal lol we r far from normal. N e ways, ifu feelu need to go in, then go. U know best when something is wrong.

I know its not easy going to dr who dont get it tho. Wishing you feel better. Let us know whats goin on

That is a good enough reason to go to the ER in my humble opinion. Pain with swelling needs to be investigated,
