My leg is hurting very badly from something in the inside. It went from my ankle!
Question:
My leg is hurting very badly from something in the inside. It went from my ankle and the pain seems to be...?
The pain seems to be moving up in my leg. at first when it was in my ankle, i thought it was just something to do with the muscles, but now its moving up in my leg and now everything below the pain seems to want to fall asleep or like its not getting proper circulation. I read some information about blood clots and it says they usually result after surgery or an accident from hurting the leg. nothing ever happened to my leg. I am scared that if i let it go, it might be a blood clot and i know a couple of people that have died from them. I know i should go to the doctors, but i am going to wait till Wednesday too see what happens and if it still hurts. but if its a blood clot and it moving up fast, then will Wednesday be too late to wait? please give me any advice you have, thanks!
Answers:
Blood clots usually result in a hot area on the affected limb. However, if in doubt, go to the ER/urgent care. Don't wait, if you think it's a blood clot.
