A member asked:
Expert opinion - should pain with a leg clot be constant or intermittent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually constant: In addition to pain, usually you would have swelling in the affected leg. You would need to have a non invasive ultrasound test done on your leg veins to confirm a clot in the vessels.
