Question:
I had a DVT several years ago. My leg now constantly feels slightly painful.?
This sensation wakes me up. I also have sciatica. Is there anything I can do to alleviate discomfort? I feel as though I am dragging myself round at work & then too tired to do anything after work. Tis becoming miserable.
Answers:
Make an appointment to see your GP.
First check and make sure you don't have another DVT.
If the GP can't deal with the pain from your sciatica then ask for a referral to a pain clinic. The doctors there can help you with both the physical and psychological aspects of long term chronic pain.
