[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. Went to my GP. She examined my leg and thinks it’s likely muscle or nerve related but said it’s worth being thorough to rule out a clot. Since it tends to only happen when I am walking or after I have been using my muscle (ie after I walk up steps) and there were no other red flags for a clot she doesn’t think that’s what it is.

She said I could go to the ER today if I want to be extra cautious, but she doesn’t think it’s an absolute emergency since it’s been happening for 5 days now and has not progressed so she ordered an ultrasound and I will go to a radiology place to get it done tomorrow. The radiology place could not squeeze me in today or would have gone sooner just to get it done. Will report back post-US tomorrow.

I don’t smoke and am not on hormonal birth control as an FYI (someone posted that) but do have a desk job where I sit for a couple hours at a time.

Will report back again.[/quote]

OP I also have a desk job and sit for hours at a time. I had to set alarms/reminders to get up once an hour. Maybe it's just standing and going up and down on the balls of my feet five times before sitting back down while on a phone call or whatever, but standing makes a big difference.[/quote]
