Ive been a bit paranoid about dvt since starting the pill to help my heavy periods, 2 months ago.
I do feel jumpy with leg pain thinking its dvt but all night I've really worried myself.
It started like an ache down the front of my left thigh, knee, shin and toes. Then at about 6pm I started with stabbing pain on the inside of my leg, half way down my thigh on left. Just random stabs/shooting pain, I can go 5-10 minutes with nothing then it strikes. My left thigh at front does feel achy constantly though.
I've been so worried its a dvt as I know you can get them in your thigh. It's my biggest fear about going on the pill but my go reassured me I'd be ok as it's very low dose, I'm slim etc....
Leg looks fine but I'm terrified pain will get worse and by morning I'll be swollen:(((
Can anyone help reassure me? What a night in having, not nice at all. I'd been to my gp this afternoon to chat about my man dying and he's referred me for bereavement counselling. Then I come home and this starts:/

I meant my nan dying, not man.
