Sorry posting for traffic, I had tooth extraction which requires stitches etc six days ago. I remember my one leg particularly hurting in calf area straight after surgery. I didn't notice too much. I have today noticed a 20p deep purple bruise on back of my leg just by knee area. Could this be DVT? my leg is now hurting, this could be now psychological thing. i had local anaesthetic. I remember after two days feeling sick and heart racing but i put it down to antibiotics or general shock as my body went through shock.

I don't think a local anaesthetic in the mouth increases dvt risk.
