My entire abdomen has been so painful for 6 days...and ive been back and forth to.drs and urgent care with it. They dont know what it is and all.just keep guessing to no avail.

Well today I kept getting sharp pains in my inner right thigh as I moved or even coughed. Its progressed this evening to my calf and thigh hurting, even my groin and lower back hurts. My calf is a bit red but I cant be sure if its swollen. Im starting to think.its a dvt in my groin and that my abdo hurts because the clot is in my pelvis too. I have been scared that I might haveva dvt in the past and.been to a+e, gp etc loads about it. I dont want to be like that again but I dont want to get one and ignore it until it becomes a PE and dangerous.

Please any advice would be so much appreciated!

Hi Charlotte,
I'm sorry you have this worry. I'm not sure about your symptoms, and I'd suggest keeping a diary, noting anything you notice. If you are still unwell after a few days, then go back to your GP. Could you have strained your leg? Could you have a stomach bug which is making you feel generally unwell?
Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

Ive had sciatica before, so bad it made me limp. Ivevwoken up this morning with a tight chest and dizzy. Am scared its a clot now in my lung. Although am also trying to tell myself its anxiety. My leg is killing me. No redness, no swelling but pain in most of my leg and in hip and bum. Could this be sciatica again? So qfraid. Hate feeling this way x

Sounds like it. Your chest symptoms are typically anxiety. Sciatica is very painful. Trytaking an anti inflammatory.
