Clots travel through the veins which don't have a detectable pulse. An ankle pulse is good but tells you nothing about the issue. Develop a lifestyle that involves some regular exercise that involves your legs and avoid sedentary activities when possible other than sleep. When things spook you, you must go in, that is living with this problem.

For many months now, I've had a non-stop tenderness with mild-to-moderate pain across my left ankle. There was no known injury or cause. It has worsened and is slightly swollen. It hurts to the touch, even during sleep, and also any time I flex it. My parents think it might be tendon-related. I'm wondering what sort of healthcare provider should I seek out to have this looked at?
