A member asked:
Ive been sick so ive been laying alot these past 2 weeks. do i have to worry about blood clots?or is that only a worry if ur always laying(cant move)?

No: A blood clot would likely show signs such as leg pain or swelling. If these symptoms are not present, then no worries. However, immobility is a risk factor for clotting so the sooner you are moving around the better. More importantly is why you've been sick for 2 weeks. Time to see your doctor.
