A member asked:

I've just had a lower leg dvt but i'm experiencing tingling in my upper thigh. could you help please?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dvt: I would repeat a lower leg ultrasound to check the status of the DVT, to make sure it is not growing in size and travelling up the leg. A DVT is dangerous and sometimes an IVC filter is needed to protect against lung embolism. Go to the ER and seek treatment. Blood thinners are also needed.
