Do I Need to Panic

grandmoon — Fri, 20 Dec 2013 22:19:43 GMT

Since last yesterday afternoon I have been getting a hot throbbing, stabbing pain in my leg just below my knee.

What could be causing it ??

Do I need to see a Doctor no ??

Is there any swelling in your leg and does the leg feel hot to the touch?

Your symptoms sound like my mother's when she had a thrombosis in her leg..and that does need medical attention sooner rather than later, especially with the holidays coming up.

Good luck!

So it seem like I need to keep my fingers crossed that my Doctor is working on Monday or Tuesday

No, grandmoon, you do not wait until Monday, you go to the next Hospital Emergency or Outpatient section.

Don't play with your life.

Do what Erica said go to the Emergency at hospital.

or maybe you have another medical clinic around where you live if they are open go there...

Yrs. ago when I had a small blood clot in my leg, it was like the symptoms you described, so find a dr. today.

Please head for the ED today. Better to be sure than sorry.

Why is it that we always seem to need to see a doctor on the weekends?

Please do as others have said and get to the doctor. I would also be taking some asprin now if it were me.

My friend had a blood clot and it can get very serious very quickly. I'm not saying that is what it is but please go today.

Remember Jacqi?

She was a regular on the boards many years ago, she passed away after having a blot clot move from her leg to her heart.

Yes, my first thought was a Blood Clot.

Definitely get it looked at asap.

my first thought too grandmoon. get thee to a physician ASAP!! and take an aspirin too. can't hurt. then again might break it up and lots of littlies will move through your blood system....just go to the nearest hospital please?

Cut it off and that will fix the pain but dont forget to put a tortique around the leg above the area before you slice.

I really hope you did nothing apart from going to the ED, it's what they're there for. And I hope you're okay.
