I definately would google leg pain first providing I could crawl to my computer that is...Seriously though, if I had chest pains I would also google..then based on what I read would call maybe 911....The internet has helped me to go to the Doc, not stay away. It was through research I learned when to call a Doc. I am older now though and can judge better what I need so I have that going for me. When I was first dx with depression I had no idea what was going on....oh, and it was before the computer age...so you know I am super old but wise!!
