Calf Pain, Discolored, Lumpy, Buried Ankle. Suggestion?

I've had unbearable pain in my L calf
for @ least ... 2 years! Now my L ankle
( the top of ankle) is extremely painful;
I can't even touch it lightly! Also, it is
so strange looking: discolored, lumpy,
puffy yet when I have touched it, it's
hard under skin!!?! The ankle is " bur-
ied , where it was always protruding...
Iv'e had very boney ankles ally life, or
shall I say ..I used to! Awhile ago, my L
leg( up to my knee) got HUGE!!!!
It looked like it belonged to a "Big"
woman! I do not have ins., & do not
have $ to see a Dr., what do U suggest
to help ease my horrific pain????
Thank you for your time and
expertise!!!!!'
