Hi, well as some of you may know my latest 'freak out' is blood clots! Because for the past 5 weeks or so I've been getting alot of 'twitching' in my legs.. It started in the foot of my left leg, but then was all over! Could be top of the foot, base of the foot, front of my calf or thing or back of my calf or thigh, then it started in my right leg too but not as bad. So my doctor put it down to sciatica.
Anyway, the last week maybe, I've calmed down alot about it. BUT I was sat at the comp for maybe 3-4 hours. And my leg was aching so I touched my calf and felt a little bump. Well it was kinda 'squeaky' like when your joints squeak? It was near the skin on the top inside of my calf.. So anyway I touched it, and tried to touch it again but it wasn't there ! Then I saw the inside of my thigh twitch! So I'm presuming it's a blood clot that's travelled up.. I'm now convincing myself of all these 'symptoms' such as pain in my abdomen (presuming the clots travelled up to there) or pain in my chest (On it's way to heart)
Please can someone tell me what this could be? Or just try rationalizing my thoughts with me?
So far I've got "Dangerous blood clots - DVT - would be in the deep veins of my muscle, not near the skin"
"Maybe it was a nerve bump? if that's possible and me touching it made my thigh twitch"
That's all I have, someone please help! I've got to be up in like 6 hours for my sons jabs and at this rate I don't think I'll be sleeping at all :(
