Have fractured left foot, and using crutches. Went for a walk yesterday for the first time in a week, woke up this morning with pain in back of right calf. Am panicing that I have DVT. It is painful to press if tightened and use but it is not hot. I can't tell if it is swollen but I don't think so. When the leg is relaxed there is very little pain. I'm quite worried and scared; it has been this way since half 9 this morning, got my mum to massage it earlier and that made no difference - it hurt when she was massaging it. Not sure what to do so asking you guys, I spent last weekend in and out A&E due to the foot and don't fancy doing the same again :(

could it all be related to your fractured foot probably i would think, it doesnt sound like a clot i had 2 in the past and my ankle was very swollen i also couldnt breathe and has a few other symptoms with mine, just for reassuramnce maybe pop to see dr on monday but if the pain goes a bit when relaxed id try not to worry to much take care

I'm sorry I can't offer any advice, have you tried calling NHS Direct?xx
