Hey everyone I've only just joined and am looking for some advice or ressurance I guess.
For months my legs were aching I thought I had a blood clot, went to doctors they said it was nothing got turned away several times, was recently told though I have a low Vitamin D level.
I've been put on Vitamin D supplements and am taking 2 calcium tablets a day.
I've been told these will take at least 3 months to work.
I get pain in my legs all the time, however it's now constant.
Around a week ago I started getting pain around the back of my knee and just above it.
Today I've got a pain on the left side of my groin.
I am so worried, everyday I've been checking my legs for temperature/redness/swelling. Even though I have no symptoms apart from pain I just cannot stop thinking I have a blood clot and that It's gonna travel to my heart and that's it I'm dead.
I have read so many things about people having no symptoms of blood clots.
My dad has had a DVT & PE in the past, and I have inherited a blood clotting disorder from him.
Am I just driving myself mad or does anyone think maybe I should go to the doctors and ask about seeing whether I have a clot or not?
Thanks :weep:
