More or less constant pain deep in calf muscle

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Got to go to the docs haven't I?

Yup.

Any other symptoms?

Fraid so, I had this a few years ago and did nothing about it until I had groin pain and swelling. It turned out I had a massive clot that had moved from my calf to my groin and was lucky that none had broken off and gone to my lung. They will probably do a d-dimer test ie a blood test. If I recall negative means no clot and positive means there maybe but may not be. Next an ultrasound to look at blood flow through the area and try to spot the clot. Then if they find one they would give heparin injection to break it up and may have you on warfarin for a few months afterwards. Bit of a pain but better than the alternative.
I hope it is just muscular but you have to get it checked out. Good luck

Yes you should go, however if your legs hot and red then I would go to a&e just to be safe, I'm sure you'll be ok though

Thanks, I know deep down that its the sort of thing you need to get checked out.

Right, will make sure I do my legs in the morning. No other symptoms - thankfully.
