Question 1

i had a knee scope about 10 days ago. today my leg and calf swelled and i have pain in my foot and tingling in my toes. could i have a blood clot?

Accepted Answer

Could be: It is imperative that you contact your doctor. If the doctor is not available you should go to the emergency department of a near by hospital.
Wish you good health!

Question 2

can a knee injury lead to blood clots?

Accepted Answer

Yes- prevention best: Knee injury and knee surgery can lead to blood clots. Trauma to the extremity, whether from injury or surgery, is the real culprit. Some patients have other risks factors that allow clots to form easier. So it is important to thoroughly discuss with your treating physician the presence of any potantial risk factors that may worsen your risk for getting a blood clot.

Question 3

can a blood clot in the calf /leg feel heavy, a constant tingling sensation, color of leg lighter & colder foot in comparison to other leg and foot?

Accepted Answer

Yes: But your other symptoms sound like possible lyme's disease. Please get your leg examined at the er tonight with an ultrasound study if needed to. Rule out deep vein thrombosis and while your'e there have that rash looked at. Best wishes.

Question 4

i have a bad pain in my left calf for almost two weeks now. my leg and foot are tingling like pins and needles. heat makes it worse. not a blood clot.

Accepted Answer

Cyst: You may have had a ruptured bakers cyst which could have caused pain in the calf. A tear of the muscle is also possible. The pins and needles is likely form some sort of inflammation in the leg.

Question 5

ive had a bilateral release 3 yrs ago on my knee and when i put my feet up when im sleeping i notice less pain in the morning, do i have a blood clot?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely : One is not really able to rule out a blood clot with so little information.  That being said, the information you have given is not particularly concerning for one.  A blood clot usually involves one leg or the other, so it would typically cause swelling in just one leg.

Question 6

can you get blood clots from just sitting for a long time? i'm 21 and i workout regularly  but lately i've been sitting for long periods of time and my knees and the bottom of my feet started to hurt.

Accepted Answer

Yes it is possible: It is possible but unlikely.
You probably are compressing the nerve behind your knees and this is creating the pain.

Question 7

34yr old.new job on my feet all day.last 2 days pain behind knee down into top of calf.gets worse as day goes on, better at home.worry about blood clot?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound: If its not a blood clot (get an ultrasound), then likely a muscle strain.

Question 8

do i have a blood clot in my leg?. it hurts to bend my knee or lean on it and my calf and foot ache. i can hear something crack when i flex it.

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Generally, clots occur because you have 1) a blood condition that promotes clotting or 2) you've been traveling or had a medical problem and were immobile for a long time.  If your leg isn't swollen or red, it's probably not a clot.  Leg pain can be due to many things. Clots don't make any noise.  But if you're concerned see your doctor, who might order an ultrasound if indicated by your exam.

Question 9

pain bottom of foot. calf and thigh cramping/knotting that wont go away. could this be blood clot? i had a neg ultrasound knee to groin.

Accepted Answer

DVT: Hi, if your ultrasound is negative then it's very unlikely to have blood clot in leg, most likely you have some sort of muscle tiredness and cramping due to overuse, trauma due to exercise, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance but most likely reason would be overuse of the muscles in leg.

Question 10

i can't tell if it's a nerve or a blood clot.have slight aches or sharp pains on my calf, knee, thigh, hip, foot for months no swelling or red.any idea?

Accepted Answer

Needs to be checked: We can not tell you what it could be, but pain persisting for months without any swelling is unlikely to be from a blood clot.I wil suggest you get yourself checked by your primary care doctor.
