Hi, I don't know enough about the condition, but as it is an obvious concern, you need to book in at your doctor's ASAP. Good luck to you both.

Hi elcid, is the swollen area painful red and hot to touch? If so a trip to A&E is a good idea. I hope your wife improves fast and diagnosed with clarity.

dial 111 and get their advice, they should have an algorithm for suspected DVT etc
