Help leg pain

[ella32]

Hi all im having a problem with my leg sice yesterday . Im having pain in my thigh area and it woke me up early hours of this morning and im nervous . My first thought as u do with health anxiety is could it b a clot... Its not swollen or sore to touch and i have same pulse in both feet so i assume thats a good thing its just very painful .not sure what to do to be honest

Hi

I used to constantly worry about blood clots but I've got over that now I think lol !

It could be a trapped nerve or may e slightly pulled a muscle etc or have you recently exercised I would take some paracetamol n see how it goes

I know how easy it us with ha for your mind to get carried away but I know someone that had a blood clot and she was in intense pain and she actually felt it move up her leg she said she had never felt pain like it and it was swollen n red

Please don't worry you will be fine try n focus on something else

Xx

Thanks for ur reply...i find it very hard to focus on anything else bar my leg at moment . I just wish that i could just let a pain b a pain without thinking it something bad its time consuming and draining. I made the mistake of googling and it doom and gloom when u look up symptoms on that and it makes u worse. I might go to doc and just get it checked and see wat she says she mite give me painkillers to help with pain. Thanks again

blood clots are very rare...and having the pain only for a few hours can be caused by anything such as pulled muscle, trapped nerve and lots of small things...it would resolve on itself for sure...
