Time for urgent care?

Last night felt minor pain in my shin, thought maybe I let it rest against table leg too long. This morning I can barely put any weight on it before it starts hurting a lot. Moving my for also hurts sometimes, but no consistent movement will cause pain, it's rather erratic as to what will hurt.

Time for urgent Care? Or make a doctor's appointment that will likely be a couple weeks out?

Hoping it's just a muscle strain, but the way it hurts more after sleeping has me concerned.

Shin splints maybe?

@Mondayschild maybe, it's along the front side. But I'm largely wheelchair bound as I've only got one leg, except for transfers. Those aren't usually high impact though, a couple hops at most.

I get that after a particularly bad night of restless leg syndrome.
Judging by what you say here, that would be ironic and extremely unfair if that was the cause of your malady.

If it bothers you that much go to the ER. If they deem it necessary they can call the Doctor to come see you.

Seems to be just a sprain. X-ray came back fine.
