leg pain

[Red448]

I know this isn’t a Thyroid question. I’ve been off work since August, I had carpal tunnel done on both hands, had one done went back to work for one day, then my Dad died of Cancer, then a week later had the other hand done. I was due to go back on the Saturday, but on the Thursday I callosped with my back, end up in hospital for 2 weeks, I’ve got spinal stenosis, nerve damage, neck compression, so waiting to see the surgeon at Nottingham. So I’ve been sat a lot only getting up for 30 mins a time, can’t do much more. I’ve not found my left carve really hurts, I’ve also go a lump, I do have varicose veins just near it. Looking for advise, if I should go to docs. Thanks

Definitely get it looked at as it could be a DVT or a blood clot, perhaps give 111 a call first as they can fast track things

Thank you, I’m at the docs tomorrow with a lump on my chest, so will mention it then

I wouldn’t wait until tomorrow - do it this morning, if you can’t get through to your doctor or don’t get anywhere call 111 and go fr9m there.

How does the lump feel - is your calf swollen too? is it hot? Last thing you want is a DVT

I’ve been to the doctors they just measured my legs to see if it was 3inches bigger than the other, which it wasent. So I pursume it’s not a DVT. She didn’t say and felt the lump but said nothing else.

[Fruitandnutcase in reply to Red448]

Oh gosh. You’d think she might have said something more helpful wouldn’t you!

[Red448]

I don’t think it’s swallon and it doesn’t look red, little bit warm, the lump is under the skin, you have to press to feel it but it hurts
