A member asked:
Can someone in their early 20's get a blood clot in their leg? what are the symtpoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Blood clots can occur at any age due to many reasons. Surgery, not moving around much after surgery, and birth control (especially if you are a smoker) increase the chances of a clot. Symptoms can include swelling, pain, heat and redness. Blood clots can be dangerous so you must seek evaluation immediately if you are having any of these symptoms.
