Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, this can be possible.
So better to get done venous doppler of right lower limb to rule out clot.
If this is normal then no need to worry for clot.
Sometimes vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause similar symptoms.
So get done vitamin B12 level and if deficiency then you will need supplements.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
