Question 1

is the feeling of a blood clot in the leg a constant pain?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: This, again, is dependent on the location of the clot.  Some people will have a cramping-type pain that worsens when there is pressure placed at the site of the clot.  Some people may have intermittent pain at the site.

Question 2

what is the difference in feeling of blood clots and leg cramps?

Accepted Answer

They feel similar: If you have  a large blood clot in your leg, you have an emergency that can kill you. The blood clot can break off and get stuck in your lungs. Call your doctor! he can test you for the clot and put you on blood thinners that will allow the clot to stabilize and dissolve.

Question 3

my legs have a hurting tingling feeling for a week. how do i know if it's from my work or the blood clots that are common in my family?

Accepted Answer

Could be # of things: Your leg symptoms could be due to a variety of conditions.  Your doctor can see you and do what we call a differential diagnosis: possible sources of leg pain include: 1) muscular pain from temporary overuse/out of condition; 2) from disease of the lower lumbar discs (often associated with tingling or paresthesias, as we call them); 3) vascular (arterial) problems, called claudication, & more.

Question 4

my leg has been having a gurgling feeling. it is my left left, upper thigh, posterior. smoke for 3 years and nuvaring. potential blood clot?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Although is is unlikely to be a blood clot, it is a good idea to be examined. Definitely recommend that you try to quit smoking for your overall health - but, smoking at age 20 does not really increase your risk of blood clots while you use nuvaring. We start to worry about that usually when you are age 35 or older.

Question 5

can wearing slim/skinny jeans cause blood clots? i do wear these type of jeans and my right leg is feeling kind of numb and tingly?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: With just leg numbness. Blood clots in the veins would more likely cause swelling and pain. I suspect you have some pressure on a nerve. Meralgia paresthetica is pressure on the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve that can occur with tight pants. See graphic to see if this fits. Looser pants may be cheaper than a doctor visit if that works.

Question 6

taking coumadin (warfarin) for a blood clot in my leg and i am feeling extremely nauseous today and i have a really bad headache started pills last night normal?

Accepted Answer

This would not be: a normal response to the initiation of Coumadin (warfarin) and may indicate an allergy or something else/new that is wrong. You should bring this to the attention of your health care professional as soon as possible.

Question 7

how long will a hematoma last and hurt? i've had it for 2 wks. it's on lower leg. could it be blood clot. no swelling. just bruised feeling.

Accepted Answer

LE hematoma: if a skin deep hematoma you can see the " black and blue mark", if  in muscle  diagnosed by ultrasound. Can  take up to a month or so depending on size. There are also bone bruises when the bone marrow gets  edema, muscle sprains,  and there are clots which can be quite dangerous as part can dislodge &amp;move elsewhere like the lung. Please F/U w/doc/ER today may need sonongram

Question 8

tingly, numbness and swollen feeling in leg and foot. doesn't look, but feels swollen. could this be a blood clot due to wearing skinny jeans?

Accepted Answer

I don't think : Skinny jeans can cause a blood clot...I'm not saying you don't have a blood clot, but find it hard that they could cause one....Are you a smoker?On birth control pills? Those are things that can potentiate a clot...

Question 9

dull pain and discomfort in whole left leg and groin now right leg on top of thigh is stinging land feeling like being stabbed  is it blood clots?

Accepted Answer

If the leg is : swollen see your doctor to get a Doppler to rule out a blood clot

Question 10

at age 35, is there a sure sign of leg blood clot? if you have a burning feeling in back of calf for a few months on and off, but no other symptoms, is a clot possible? im thin, never smoked/drank & have perfect blood pressure. play video games daily?

Accepted Answer

: What you described does not suggest venous thrombosis. It would better to engage in more physical activity, e.g., walking, rather than spending time with video games.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
