A member asked:
Can a blood clot in the leg cause involuntary muscle movements in the leg and ankle pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's possible: As poor venous outflow from the muscles in the lower(distal) leg due to a blood clot(DVT) could lead to spasms, but it's not the most common symptom. The swelling often associated can lead to ankle pain.
