I'm 9 days post partum and for last 2 days I've had leg ache and tender areas on my ankle and foot. I can see a little bruise and a more obvious vein in my foot. I was checked for a pulmonary embolism 3 days ago due to other symptoms and they said I didn't have that but that I am badly anaemic. The day after the hospital to check for pulmonary embolism is when the leg situation started. Not sure if I should be worried or if I could have varicose veins as I have some lumpy feeling under skin on the same thigh too. I also wore bad fitting shoes lately, my feet are swollen with fluid retention after birth and my shoes were tight on me so not sure if that has caused it. I'm going to mention it to mw when she comes tomorrow but wondering if anyone can shed light on their experiences with leg pain/varicose veins/dvt etc after birth. I can't stop worrying
