A member asked:

Ultrasound for possible clot on left leg was done but on the inside of my leg into my groin. leg pain is on outtercalf and back thigh. isthat accurate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Clot: They were probably looking at the Femoral Vein which is at the medial side. Sounds like a pinched nerve or possible sciatica. this will not come up on a ultrasound to diagnose a clot. Follow with back specialist or neurologist. apply ice bag to low back on left side for now and takeanti inflammatory if you are not allergic.
