So we have come away now the flight was 2hours and 30 minutes the next day after the flight my bottom half at the front of my leg is sore and also sore to touch it's not red it's not hot, no skin discolouration, I'm full
Of worry because I'm away! Does it sound like DVT

You can go to the doctor there and ask for a blood test which would diagnose or rule that out.

Zinfandelfoot · 20/07/2023 23:46

yeah I would try to see a dr. Was you sitting in a funny position at all?

Moonberri · 20/07/2023 23:48

I think DVT is normally in the calf rather than the front of the leg. Is it a cramp? Try stretching it out and see if it improves.

No not that I
Can think of, I'll have to find how to access the doctor here

I’d certainly get that checked, the location looks possible for dvt

CockSpadget · 21/07/2023 00:31

You do actually appear to have a bit of redness. Get it checked

Year6Leavers · 21/07/2023 00:58

Get it checked. We can't tell you and it can become very dangerous quickly

are you staying in a hotel, if so ask at reception how to access medical care.
don't delay.
if you are in the middle of nowhere maybe ring your travel insurer to ask for advice.

dontknowwhatswrong · 21/07/2023 01:24

Yes we are staying at a hotel,
Husband thinks it's muscles
I haven't used in a while through walking 6 flights of stairs but I'm a worrier

how did you get on, OP ?

dontknowwhatswrong · 23/07/2023 21:30

@alexdgr8 I went and they just felt it and gave me some cream called thrombocid forte and a compression stocking for flying home so they didn't say what it was x
