Blood clots

Has anyone on her experienced a blood clot? Worried about my Mum. Started having severe pain on her leg yesterday and swollen/hot to touch. She has called 111 this morning and waiting for a doctor to call her back. The pain is better today but still aching - is it likely to be something else if the pain has subsided? She has taken pain killers.

I live a few hours away and trying to work out if I need to find childcare and go.

Anyone there?

It sounds to me as if your mother will be told to go to hospital and have a CT scan and blood tests. If it is a clot she will need daily injections for a couple of weeks I think. These can be self administered.

She has been given an appointment at hospital.
