new symptom? Burning leg?

Today it feels like my left leg is on fire or at least that's the general way to put it.

it hurts from my hip to my toes but walking makes it worse.
it feels hotter than the other one like it may have fever? but i think my nerves are just hypersensitive/pissed off I don't think I actually have fever..
I knelt down earlier at it was almost like someone was cutting off my kneecap. where ever pressure is applied it goes crazy.
When I try to curl my toes i can feel it shoot pain on the inside of my upper thigh
Tylenol/asprin advil is not doing anything.

Do I call my neuro? Would they prescribe something?

                                                                                                      Called neuro today they finally called back to let me know they are calling in a medrol dose pack
i thought they were going to call in gabapentin or something but they called in a 'sm dose pack.

i cant get it until the pharmacy opens tomorrow my leg is burning numb and it feels like someone cut deep into my leg and I'M ABOUT TO CHEW IT OFF LIKE A COYOTE!!!

i went to see about a pain doctor, couldn't find one.then i was kind of scared.
