Hi, since the pain is in the leg which is different from the pain in the foot that you had before, I would be concerned particularly about a blood clot in the leg. Maybe its just muscular pain but I would like to be sure its not a clot- this can be easily excluded by an ultrasound of the veins in the leg. Since this is a specialized test that needs a physician to order and interpret it, I would recommend that you give a call to your MD.


Please let me know if that was helpful. Thanks!
