A member asked:

My right thigh has been swollen for over an week and now i been getting these sharp pains on and off in my right calf. what is wrong with my leg?

Risk of Thrombosis : such acute and progressive swelling and pain concerns me, you must rule out deep or superficial vein thrombosis, and or Cellulitis. Better be seen asap.

Blood clot: you most likely have blood clot in your leg. Need immediate attention and treatment.
