Welcome to health care magic.
1.If you have severe leg pain with increased blood pressure you may need to see the ER as soon as possible.
2.With increased blood pressure and chest pain / breathing difficulty deep vein thrombosis is suspected.
3.If ultrasound and CT scan gives negative report then the pain can be related to the spinal issues.
4.Lumbar spine degenerative changes with nerve compression does gives radiating pain to the lower limbs.
5.You need to visit ER and get generalised checkup, vitals, and need to stabilise the underlying medical conditions and evaluate the cause.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.

Hello.Pain,increased diameter of the leg, redness, local heat,hardening are signs of DVT.The most sensitive test to rule out DVT is Ultrasound Doppler.
I recommend you go back to the ER for examination and, perhaps, repeat Doppler Ultrasound if the doctor deems it appropiate.
I wish you good health.
