Hey,
I'm growing increasingly worried that I'm suffering a DVT right now. Im a trans-woman who takes Estrogen via skin patches (which naturally increases your risk of DVT and blood clots anyway) and an ex smoker; although at the moment im stopping at my friends for her birthday and ive had a couple cigarettes (I feel guilty for doing this and have since denied anymore off her).... But ever since I put my last one out about 2/3 hours ago I've had a constant heavy kinda ache in my left thigh that hasnt eased off. Ive checked myself for swelling or redness and everything in the area and I cant see anything, but I've read in countless places that numerous DVT's dont have swelling or any symptoms and because of this doctors misdiagnosis them alot... The ache isnt getting easier and Im getting really worried now....
