urologist maybe? usually when a foley starts leaking around it, its normally starting to get stopped up and pressure is building up behind it, u could just need a bigger catheter.............

This back and forth is gruelling. Go to a Urologist, already. Could be a UTI with your leg hurting (spazms?). Also look into bladder spazm medication, like Oxybutynin. If your already on the med's, it could also be a bladder/kidney stone. Go go go!!
