I thought my health anxiety was getting better but recently it's taken a downward turn.
My calf has been getting shooting pains and crampy sensations and I get surges of pain in my foot, heel and thigh that make me jump out of my skin!
I've had leg pain a million times before but this has lasted 9 days and seems to be worsening. When I'm walking around I'm okay but kneeling or sitting in a chair that compresses my thigh gives me this aching jolt. I'm not exaggerating and have been taking strong painkillers and it still hurts :(
It gets bad at night too so I'm scared to sleep. I've never felt this pain before. It feels like there's some kind of blockage or twist in my vein. It goes everywhere in my leg in different spots.
Has anyone experienced a dvt before? What were your symptoms?
I've seen 3 different drs but all said no swelling so it can't be dvt. But i heard some people are asymptomatic?
Also my chest is starting to hurt though that could be anxiety.
I had a doppler of the thigh 3 weeks ago which was clear (though d dimer was elevated).
Could a clot have developed in that time? I don't want to wait until things get worse. It's more painful everyday. Bending and standing on toes hurts too.
I'm 20 tomorrow. I don't take the pill or anything though I do work 8 hours at a computer everyday. Oh and I just found out the hospital doesn't do scans until next Tuesday. Ugh. My dr is sick of me and I'm afraid to go back. I'm so nervous. What do you think this is?
