A member asked:

Can may-thurner syndrome cause discomfort/pain in the achilles, soleus, and calf, region?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Thomas Inwood answered

Specializes in Podiatry

May- thurner: This is a syndrome that can cause blood clots . So it is entirely possible to have pain in those regions . A visit to the diagnosing physician is appropriate to rule out DVT .
