I have pain in the spot behind my left knee, overnight it's radiated down my left leg and into my foot, so I now have a sharp, stabbing pain in my heel. There's no obvious bruising or swelling, and the original patch of soreness feels tender to the touch, the skin feels sore as though I *should* be able to see redness or something, but there's nothing there. I'm... concerned. I'm on the pill as a means to sort out my cycle which has been messed up by a contaceptive implant, so I have two types of hormonal contraceptive in my system. I'm concerned that this could lead to increased likelihood of developing a blood clot. I'm also concerned that the propranolol I'm taking is slowing down the blood flow to my extremities and increasing the likelihood of a blood clot. I'm dreaming up things that probably aren't even medically possible, but I'm not going to start googling to check. I live with a med student, so the temptation is to go and ask him but 1) he already thinks I'm crazy and 2) I'm scared he'll say I'm dying. I can't even see my doctor this week because I'm too busy trying not to fail my degree.
Ugh, I so thought this was over and dealt with. I blame a week and a half of three hour exams.
