Possible DVT in leg but hospital being slow about it

Hi, I was recently admitted to hospital with COVID and after coming out about a week later my leg started hurting, a cramping pain and I could barely walk on it.

I went to A&E and they took some blood tests, gave me blood thinners just incase and said they’ll do a CT scan but couldn’t on the day so they would ring me to let me know when my scan would be, this was Thursday.

Now I rang them today and they said they would ring me on Tuesday to let me know when my scan would be.

I’m basically just worried it could be getting worse the longer I have to wait. I’d just like to get some advice on what to do and how to go about this.

Thank you
