question: Sunday night my right shin started to hurt when walking or when pulling my toes up.  It is now Tues and it still hurts.  there was a bit of redness (pink) on Monday night and tonight I would say it is about 4" by 2" of slight red area.  It is a wee bit swollen.  I am 70 yrs. old.  No high BP.  So sign of a bite.  Yes I am over weight.  205 and am 5'4" tall.   Not quite sure what to do.
