Ache/pain in my ankle and shin

[JellycatElfie]

I’ve slept fitfully last night as my legs really been hurting - it feels like the sort of pain when you have a sprain and seems to be radiating up into my knee! I’ve got up this morning and my leg feels tingly and the skin looks a bit mottled where the pain is. Pic attached! Is it worth ringing the gp or will they think I’m crazy? I could probably get an appt today. I’m 5 months post partum and taking tablets for quite severe anaemia and vit d deficiency if that’s anything relevant. (I have a bite on my ankle that isn’t sore which is why my ankle is so red!)

I’d ring the GP and get an appointment.

Ring the GP. It might be nothing, but it might be a reaction to the bite on your ankle.

Sorry I should’ve said the bite is from last year which never healed properly! I have raynauds and poor circulation too. I couldn’t get in with the gp but a pharmacist has checked it and said it looks unlikely to be a dvt or cellulitis and to just keep an eye on it tonight.
