A member asked:
I'm wondering how serious are blood clots in your legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leg clots: That is a difficult question to answer. Many times clots in your legs are treated and they go away without a problem and at other times they may lead to severe swelling that persists or the clot may even move somewhere like into the lungs. Each case has to be evaluated based on the facts of that case to determine exactly how serious it is.

Good day I trust that you well, I currently have 5 blood clots on my legs, it is slightly warm, swollen and painful when i touch it or sometimes just when i am walking. Do you recommend that i should book an appointment and is it serious?
It isnt severe pain. The pain mostly comes from psychological since I have terrible anxiety. Im terrified of a blood clot, but Ive been getting this lightning bolt sensation in my right calf, behind. I also noticed round rashes, both legs.
