Brief Answer:
Symptoms of leg blood clot:
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. Phillips,
I see that we are neighbors (I'm in Madison).
The concerning type of blood clot that occurs in the leg is a deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
The most common symptoms of a leg DVT are:
Swelling in the leg at and below the level of the clot.
The area feels warmer than normal to the touch.
Some redness (or sometimes a blue discoloration)
Tenderness or leg cramping or pain
Sometimes feels like a Charley Horse but a Charley Horse doesn't have swelling and warmth to it.
I hope this is the information that you are looking for. If there is further information I can provide you, please let me know.
