Can Bee Sting Cause Blood Clot?
I was stung by a bee three weeks ago on the upper back part of my heal. My lower leg was swollen and the muscle from my heal to my lower calf was warm to the touch and painful. Now the pain has moved to my upper calf muscle just under my knee. Could I have a blood clot from the bee sting? How should I treat it?

Hi
I appreciate your concern
in my opinion it could be a case of deep vein thrombosis
bee sting can produce an inflammatory reaction in calf muscle and might trigger thrombosis in the leg veins
if swelling constant or progressively increases then you must visit your doctor for an colour doppler
meanwhile keep your movements restricted
you can also use elastic stocking
Hope I have answered your question
