While : While many things can cause swelling and pain, you might have a case of dvt. While the use of Aspirin daily can decrease the risks of clotting, they might not necessarily eliminate it. I would contact you primary doctor and see if you can get non-invasive ultrasound testing to see if there is dvt. Even a blood test called d-dimer can help rule out clotting problems. If the d-dimer test is normal then you don't need the ultrasound. If it is positive you would need further workup.

Yes: A little bit. Swelling has many causes, but a simple ultrasound can determine any dvt. Ask your pcp to see you and guide you.

Good evening doctors. I have pain on the bottom of my thighs especially when sitting..at times it is very difficult to find a comfortable sitting position. What might be causing this? Could it be more related to a heart issue or DVT or sciatica?
