Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a TT on June 4th 2014. For the past two days I have had what feels like a charlie horse in my right calf. It is not getting any better with walking or rest. Taking a muscle relaxer does relieve the discomfort slightly. Am I still in the danger zone for a blood clot? Should I be worried? I would normally just deal with it, but I don t want to be negligent.
If you have family history of clots, long term immobilisation then you may be set risk. Apply hot packs, keep the limbs elevated, get a Doppler scan to rule out clot.
