Hi,
For around 2 months now I have had a strange pain, almost like cramping in my left calf. Very occasionally I get it in my right calf too, but mostly left. I find that there are so many things that I worry about and then they just sort of disappear, but the symptoms of this are still there.
I don't have redness, or a noticeable difference in size, but I do get on and off pain, one day it isn't there and another day it is, and when it is there, touching it can sometimes make it hurt more.
My main worry is I am on the pill and have been for 8 years now. When I got my last blood pressure check they said that it was slightly high but it was only because I was cold and shaking. I am not particularly active, mostly as my job is part public and part writing, so when I am writing I am sitting at a laptop screen for hours.
I thought it could be muscular as often when I am working I sit in odd positions that squash my legs, but the pain is kind of coming from the actual fat off the back of the calf. I thought maybe it could be sciatica as I am getting a pain in the upper leg to back area occasionally, but I recall sciatica feeling quite sharp and not like a cramp.
I have had this for 2 months. Is it even possible to have a blood clot for 2 months or would I notice something more by now?
