Is Lower Leg Pain An Indication Of Possible Blood Clot?
Question: I had a pain when walking in my lower leg and then og suddenly went away. Does that sound symptomatic of a blood clot?
Brief Answer:
No.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Where was this pain located? Was it calf pain or ankle pain?
Veins thrombosis symptoms are different depending if its deep or superficial veins thrombosis.
Superficial veins thrombosis gives usually hardness and localized pain in the vein area. Pain while walking is less probable.
Deep veins thrombosis usually gives swelling, pain and hardness of the calf, the leg gets warmer than the other one. Pain is more intensive while walking.
Deep veins thrombosis pain usually does not disappear suddenly. Its impossible.
That is why I do not think that your pain was caused by blood clot.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

the pain was in my left leg, on the front outer left side about halfway between my foot and knee. When I was walking it felt like my leg might snap in half - like there was a weak spot there. I can still feel the pain very very mildly.

Detailed Answer:
This sounds more like a stretched muscle. However superficial veins thrombosis is also possible. As it is almost gone, no need to do anything with it. If it will appear again, than consult your doctor.
