What Causes Discomfort And Pain In Left Leg, Arm And Side Chest?

Hi, I have this discomfort and achenes that seems to start from my left knee follow with a sharp pain up my leg and down to my calf and ankle. Feel same through my left arm, side chest, up to my neck and left side of my head where I have a slight headache. I have been having this for a few days and usually when I go to bed. But currently I am having this tingling. I am 58 years old female. Very uncomfortable. Should I be concern or wait til I make an appointment with a doctor until Monday?
