Hi all,
So my health anxiety is on full form lately due to my current symptoms which are:
1. Achy/Tender/Tight pain in calf, back of thigh and going up to my butt on that side.
2. Pangs of pain in the calf that when I try and massage out feel sore to touch.
3. Calf hurts when I bend over or put pressure on that side
I am so, so scared that I have a blood clot/DVT that will dislodge and kill me immediately. I don't have any swelling, my legs are only tiny and skinny so I'd know about it if I did. I don't have any discoloration and the pain hasn't progressed. It's pretty much stayed the same. But I read that sometimes DVT's present as pain in the leg only.
I'm female, 26, small framed, blood pressure always around 116/72. Never been on the pill. No family history of blood clots. However, I'm in the process of searching for a job so I'm spending a lot of time sitting down on the laptop. I'm also a light smoker which are both contributing factors to DVT.
Just so scared, and this fear is taking over everything I do...
