For the past week I've been getting pain in my calf. it comes and goes, mostly happens at night or early morning. Also goes to my knee, and thigh. Lasts for a few hours then goes away. I know I some varicose veins on my left leg, but they're not bad. The pain I have in my leg isn't severe also. But yeah, I do get pain in my right leg too, just not as much. just right now I can feel it in both knees. not sure what is going, so I would like some advice. I don't want to tell my doctor about this, when it could be just nothing. idk. But I am concerned and am tired of googling symptoms online 😩 anyone whose done that knows that doing that is not a great idea.

    Hey FluffyD

    You could save a lot of time and worry if you went to your doctor. If he/she measures your pedal pulse and thinks it might be DVT, youll get referred quickly to your local vascular clinic and theyll diagnose it very quickly by ultrasound. They will put you on anticoagulation drugs straight away and that will be you sorted. No probs.

    Cheers

      hey, I did go to Urgent care today. They there might not be nothing wrong with it, but just to keep an eye on it. I should mention that its not swollen and that I also get the pain in my right leg, but not as often. I know with DVT its in one leg. I'm not having trouble walking and not short of breath. I do get the feeling it just could be something minor. But pretty much right now, everythings looking okay. 😃
