3 weeks later and my leg is still hurting like hell.
i thought it was getting better but nope, yesterday the broken bottle stabbing feeling started in all those spots in my leg thigh and foot again.
i wanted to go to the emergency doctor/a&e but it seems like that's always what i jump to and usually they give me some paracetamol and send me on my way.
if it doesn't get better by tomorrow im going to insist on an ultrasound and if they still refuse im going to ask them to write on my records that i asked for one but was refused. the annoying thing is the ultrasound techs only come in 2 days a week so it could take days.
anyway im feeling quite shaky and just a minute ago this wash of dizziness swept over me like i was going to faint.
i feel like i can't breathe, getting random chest pains and am too scared to go to sleep tonight.
i just have no idea why this pain isn't going away. im biting my fingernails right now as i just can't shake this feeling. i haven't done anything to strain a muscle and this feels like it's in the bone or something.
the only reassurance is that i saw 3 doctors last week who said not to worry unless it swelled up. but then some people don't get swelling so idk.
im getting really worked up about it. im so convinced i have a clot. my leg is just aching so much.
and im filling my head with all these stories about young people with blood clots people dying because they weren't treated on time.
