I'm having a really tough time at the moment and can't rationalise.
Some of you may remember me saying that my left leg was heavy a while ago. It was mainly in my thigh but went sometimes into my calf.
However for the past week and a half I've been getting pains and aches in my left calf. They are sort of just below my knee and sometimes radiate into the back of my thigh and my foot. My foot has felt tingly a couple of times. Over the last few days I have noticed them more, ie they are there all the time virtually.
I have no swelling, redness or heat but I am obsessing that I might have a blood clot. I don't really have any high risk factors, I'm only on the mini pill which I don't think is a cause for concern. Though I have been worrying because I've had a few days over the last few weekends where I've had up to 14 hours sleep. I'm scared being in bed this long could have harmed me.
Sometimes when I touch my leg I think it feels a bit tender and then other times not. It does feel stiff when I walk
Please tell me this is nothing to worry about. I'm so busy at work that I have no time to go to the drs
Of course I've got lots of dizziness and other anxiety symptoms too.
