A member asked:
Pain in left calf and back of left thigh. frequent but slight spasms in calf. leg feels generally weak and has been for 4 days. is this a blood clot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: This actually sounds like sciatica or pain from an irritated nerve root in your lumbar spine. If your leg is hot, swollen, or tender to touch behind the knee or calf then a clot is more likely. I would recommend seeing your physician asap just to be sure.
