A member asked:
What are some indicators that someone might be experiencing a leg/hamstring cramp instead of a blood clot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not all clots are painful but all cramps are painful. Swelling can be associated with clot formation but not associated with cramping. You are playing with life and death diagnosis and decisions. Please be advised by your family doctor or a doctor of hematology
