I know no one here is a doctor and I'm not looking for a diagnosis, just want to rant for a minute and perhaps know if anyone does this.
So this morning I wake up with a sore area on my calf, kinda like a bruise under the skin feeling. No swelling, heat, redness, etc... I had this feeling about a week ago and then it went away after about a day. Now its back again and I am freaking out its a DVT. Of course I have pushed and touched the area for like two straight hours, but now there is pain when I walk a little, discomfort more like. It comes and goes but radiates down a little into my ankle. Of course I can't stop obsessing about it. If I ignore it and don't worry about it, that could be bad because it could be a DVT. UGH!!
Two years ago I wouldn't have done this. Why can't I just think, 'weird I have a little calf discomfort'? NOOO, I have to immediately assume its DVT! Anyone else experience this?? Should I be worried??
