Hi everyone. I've got myself in such a state and I'm just after some advice....I'll start from the beginning....
About 4 weeks ago I started getting pain on the inside and bottom of my foot (around the arch) with a thick red band/streak running from the arch down to the sole which has progressively got worse as time has gone on. 2 weeks ago I went to the gp who sent me for an X-ray which just showed some soft tissue damage but nothing significant. I was then sent for blood tests which showed elevated white blood cell count and also I have a low grade fever and elevated heart rate but that could just be a result of my current pregnancy (27weeks). The gp this morning then mentioned that it could be a blood clot and has referred me for an urgent ultrasound but I am now panicking so much as I feel unwell, sleep deprived and in quite a lot of pain and so worried that I may have a blood clot I just don't know what to do. Should I ring nhs direct, go to a and e or just wait for the referral that will probably be next week! Please share any of your own experiences or advice. Thank you x
