Tonight its aching again, not really my calf but my knee and ankle hurt, arghhhhhh.

I have recently started running and I have been getting alot of strains in my ankles & knees. Then it goes when I rest up for a week but since sitting in work on monday it hurts, very strange.

The calf area which was hurting last night has stopped hurting so hopefully its nothing to worry about. I have been on my feet all day in 3inch heel boots so I guess that hasn't helped. I am getting some flat shoes tomorrow!!

I am seeing my GP tomorrow about my spots so I am going to see what he thinks about these leg pains. I hope to god its nothing to worry about but hopefully if its just my ankle and knee hurting its just a strain or the sciatica, my right buttock also aches alot today.

Oh I am in the wars!

You are speaking to the queen of panicking now!! I have thought I have had clots loads. You only have to worry if it is red, swollen and quite hot to touch. It will just be muscle pain.

Thanks so much, thats reassuring. Did your gp tell you that?

hiya

i had a dvt in 2003, let me say it blinking agony, it never lets up, sitting, standing whatever it hurts all the time, i had mine for a whole month before the dr would actually take me serious, a first it just hurt, then it gradually got worse, it didnt swell right up until i had it diagnosed so a month after it started. it wasnt hot and it wasnt red.

BUT ......... i always now get leg aches, my heamotology dr said pain is no indicator what so ever of a dvt. pain alongside other symtoms is what they look for i think, im not saying id want another clot lol but after it was diagnosed it wasnt that bad, i had warfarin for 9 months, the pain went almost straight away.

im sure from listening to your posts its fine, i get exactly what u describe but i get the pain in my foot aswell, it drives me mad, ive noticed i get this alot worse when im due on.

take care u r fine

Thanks Leanne,

Thats kind of reassuring;-) thank you for helping.

I saw my GP tonight, I didn't say I thought I had a dvt but told him about the leg pains, he checked my calf and foot. He said its muscular from sitting akwardly in work and I run.

The thing is know of some people who didn't have pain or swelling and ended up with it spreading to their lungs so I can't help but still worry that he has missed it.

My legs are so thin, I am very petite so I am just hoping that it wouldn't of been missed and that he or I would notice something.

I thought the symptoms of DVT were swelling and pain so I am kind of confused and not very reassured tonight despite seeing my GP, lol!
