Hey everyone,
I'm 28 and on the contraceptive pill. I was completely housebound for 8 years and over the last 2 I have been slowly going out again and trying to conquer it. I deal with anxiety and panic attacks.
I decided to join uni this year and I have been quite anxious due to this new situation.
Over the last 2 and a half weeks I have had pain behind my knee and in my calf, to the point I am getting leg weakness. It feels very tight and also have had feelings of squeezing. No swelling though. It has been making me incredibly anxious at uni. My foot also has had some numbness and pins and needles a few times. I went to my GP today and just said there's no swelling so didn't think there was much to worry about but to book a D Dimer blood test so am going in a week.
This hasn't put my mind at ease at all and it's making me so anxious I am getting to anxious to go to uni this week. It doesn't help I'm getting the leg weakness too.
Due to being anxious about this I have googled stupidly and found horror stories of dvt without swelling.
I am really worrying and it's really affecting my general anxiety levels.
