hurtful veins?

Okay so the other night my leg started throbbing :( and it hurts to move my ankle and bend my leg. It hurts to stand or straighten.. I did some looking online and I'm pretty sure I have a varicose vein :( I don't know what to do.. Should I go to an urgent care or ER or hold it off tilmy appointment Monday? What can I do to relieve the pain?  Have anyone had one before? Is this a varicose vein? Or you think something else..?

Help! thanks oh I'm 31+1

Well, I would look up Deep Vein Thrombosis, too, and see if any of the symptoms relate to what is happening to you.  If it is a varicose vein it is no big deal, but if it is DVT you should go in and get checked, and don't wait until Monday if the symptoms match its description.  Good luck; I hope it is just a v.v.
