A member asked:
Can a blood clot start in the arch of your foot and travel to your lower calf?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No . . . and yes .: Technically speaking, a blood clot can occur wherever you have a blood supply--which means anywhere in your body. However, Plantar Fascia problems and muscle spasms are much more likely to occur in the foot arch.
