Get to the ER now!: The 1st thing an er doc will wonder is if you are developing blood clots in your leg? This condition is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and the risk of developing a DVT goes up after surgery or delivery. These clots can break free at any time and travel to the lung. This is called a pulmonary embolus (pe) which is a true emergency because it interferes with breathing and can be fatal. See a doc!
