I would probably go the ER just to be sure, you don't want to risk it -it could cost you your life and you've already come so far.

If you point your toes toward your head and it hurts really bad it is most likely a clot, but that isn't 100% --so go to the ER to be safe. Let me know how it goes.

Please just either call your surgeons office or go somewhere to be seen... doesn't even have to be an er it could be a walk in clinic. Better to be safe than sorry! And please update us to let us know how you are doing now!

Usually a blood clot is painful, swelling, area is warm but this is just what I have seen, in some patients I have had, it has not happened to me so I do not know if this is how they start , I would have this checked out to be on the safe side dear. Please keep us updated, prayers your way.

When I had a clot, it felt like a bad cramp in my calf muscle. I would recommend calling your doc if you're nervous.

Ditto. My DVT felt like a bad charlie horse when I was standing or applying pressure. Especially up and down steps. I would advise you to go have it checked out immediately. Please let us know. Best of luck!

Well i went to the er since we don't have an all night clinic around. Doctor isn't completely ruling out a blood clot but doesn't think it is, he said it sounds like a nerve issue. Can't remember exactly the name of my diagnosis, but I'm supposed to check up with my doctor. And I'm going to keep praying its nothing to bad.

Please check with someone else. I am not trying to discredit ER doctors, but many of them are over worked and want you in and out. I have never had a problem with an ER doctor, but other people have. Your doctor knows and loves you.

If there is a suspected blood clot, the ER doc should have immediately scheduled you for a Doppler (ultrasound) of your leg to rule it out. I would call your surgeon if you still have the pain and get it checked out. This is something that could be very serious.

We had a patient come in with a swollen calf and we ordered a Doppler and sure enough he had a blood clot. It is serious go to another er or doctor. He should have had that test done to be sure.

And if the other ER confirms, get a lawyer, and sue the first for negligence.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
