Hi i am a constant worrier regarding my health and body. Im always thinking the worse case possible. On the fourth of july i was dancing for a long time and the next morning my legs and thighs were on fire. I noticed though on my left leg near the side of my near it was painful to touch. I now have a decent size bruise there, and its freaking me out thinking its a blood clot. I do bruise real easily and tend to bruise after a night of drinking. i have been tested for blood clots before almost two months ago and was fine thankfully but i am going out of my mind with fear. Would a blood clot look like a bruise. I have no swelling, nor is the skin red or hot. I cant afford another doctor visit. I already owe close to 2000 from previous er visits. If anyone could help i would be soooo grateful! Thank you in advance!

    Hi, I think the soreness of your legs and thighs was probably due to all the dancing, could you have bruised yourself without realising?

    If you had a clot, I feel sure that the pain would be intense.

    Am thinking you live in maybe America, as you pay for A/E visits.

    This website gives info about clots and DVT, you don`t appear to have any of the symptoms.

    Take care.
