Leg symptoms: like that indicate the need for you to visit your doctor. It could be a variety of things including sprain, bug bite, clot. It is important to identify the cause and then treat it. Peace and good health.

Any time your calf: is swollen it would be prudent to rule out a DVT or blood clot. This could kill you. Once this is ruled out….you have time to figure out the etiology if it wasn't a clot.

Be seen: While there are multiple potential causes, one possible cause is a blood clot, and because that is potentially life threatening, you would be well served to be seen and have this ruled out.
