Question 1

could a blot clot in the leg cause swelling?

Accepted Answer

DVT: Yes, blood clots in the veins of the lower extremities could commonly cause swelling in the leg. I become very suspicious for blood clots when i see one leg more swollen then the other. Other findings  include reddness and pain in the effected  leg.

Question 2

i have been on xarelto for six weeks because of a large blot clot between mid thigh and mid calf--i am schedule to fly from seattle to san fran straig?

Accepted Answer

It should be OK: The doctor who is treating your blood clot is the best person to give you the proper advice. Have you asked him/her?
In my opinion you should be fine to fly as long as you are still taking your blood thinner.
The only other precaution is to get up and walk around for few minutes every hour. This will keep your blood moving and present it from making a blood cot.

Question 3

i am taking xarelto b/c of a blot clot in calf following broken 5th metatarsal.  now i have a toothache & need to see dentist.  what r my options?

Accepted Answer

You can see dentist: See your dentist and get your toothache treated.  Make certain that you tell the dentist about your medications and a complete  health history.  You can get dental treatment while on xerelto.  Your dentist may need to consult with your md, but you can be treated.

Question 4

do i have a blot clot and if so what kind? i think i might have a blood clot. i have been getting zerona laser therapy. my left hip started hurting really bad, then it started spreading down the outside part of my thigh and eventually covered the whole fr

Accepted Answer

It : It is very important that you have a vascular study (ultrasound) of your leg for your symptoms.  As you have read, a deep venous thrombosis (blood clot) can be very serious and can lead to very serious consequences including death.  Please be evaluated immediately for this.

Question 5

could bloody clots be why my leg is so cold?

Accepted Answer

Not very likely: While circulation and blood flow can be associated with coolness of a limb, it would more likely be narrowing of small arteries rather than a problem on the vein side of the circulation where blood clots commonly form. Also, venous blood clots more commonly cause pain and swelling than change in temperature. Consider an evaluation to check circulation as well as nerve function in your leg.

Question 6

is it possible that i have a clot in my leg?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: A clot in your legs would cause pain, swelling and possibly redness to the extremity.  Many factors contribute to the development of a clot such as; immobility, damage to the blood vessels, hypercoaguable states, smoking, arrythmias, old age, and history of dvt.  If you are concerned, seek medical attention asap.  Clots in the leg can travel to the lungs and cause pulmonary embolisms.

Question 7

if i'm 18 years old, can i get a blod clot in my leg?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It can occur at any age but is very uncommon in an 18 year old.

Question 8

can a superficial clot cause a tributary to stick out of the leg?

Accepted Answer

Possible.: Vessels seem to stand out when they are full of blood. This could be due to a large variety of factors - one of these could be a clot, but generally this does not affect small vessels - it is only seen with large blood clots which should produce a variety of other symptoms.  Small vessels that seem to stick out are much more likely just due to their superficial location, gravity and local factors.

Question 9

is it normal for my leg to feel clotted up when i eat something from mcdonalds?

Accepted Answer

Fast Food: This would be unusual. But maybe this is a sign from the 'don't eat unhealthy g_ds' to stay away from fast food establishments!

Question 10

anxiety sufferer. i spent 4 days laying in bed more then not although i did get up occasionally to do household things. could that create a leg clot?

Accepted Answer

See below: Unlikely to cause a blood clot. The important question, is what are you doing for your anxiety? It sounds as if it is not well controlled.
