If the trigger point: is due to an injury, yes as that point may B the area of injury. may have been minor trauma that U did not even remember. if not it could B due 2 DVT (clots) and requires immediate eval by an md. this would also be the cause of swelling. if this is the case get in ASAP 2 be evaluated!
