A member asked:
Hi doctors. how do i know if i have a blood clot or a pinched nerve?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally you can't: Unless you have a fever or swollen limb which may suggest a clot more than sciatica otherwise not very specific. I would suggest ruling out the clot first and then workup the sciatica issue afterwards.
