Pain In Thigh After Being Bitten. Cannot Lift Leg To Drive. What To Do?

I was bitten by something in the garden yesterday. Later on I started getting pain in my thigh. Upper thigh by the lymph nodes. I can walk but it is sore. Driving home from town I needed to lift my leg with my hand to change gears. I can't seem to make that movement. The lifting.
Is this from a big bite? Horseflies are horrible for me. It could have been one. 3 years ago I got bitten and had reactions for months.
In this same leg as the pain I was bitten by either a horsefly last week or stung by a bee. The ankle swelled up and I could barely walk for days. I think there could be too many toxins in the leg?? What should I do??

Hi, As you describe it appears to be the sting by a scorpion, or may be some poisonous insect. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have antihistamine, steroid, and antibiotic for complete relief. Thank you.
