Hi.

I am glad you reached out to HCM.

Urinating on oneself may be seen with urinary incontinence. Pain in the lower leg may be seen with an infection, injury, or swelling.

This can cause some toxins to be released and this may cause swelling. Usually, icing the area can be useful for the pain and the swelling. Raising the leg may reduce the swelling as well.

I hope this helps. All the best.
