My husband could have used that! Had symptoms in his leg but dismissed that it could be a blood clot (because I worry too much and go to extremes when looking up symptoms online!). Five days later he went in to the clinic and discovered that it’s a blood clot in his leg.

Praising God daily that it didn’t move when he was icing and massaging the calf! Exactly what you shouldn’t do with a blood clot.

Oops. Guess I should make an appointment to the doctor's office. Lately I get a pain in my leg, and slap or thump it as well as massaging it. Could be a clot, as it changes location. I do have an Apple Watch and monitor my heart rate, mostly while over-exerting myself so I don't overdo it. Thanks for the info about your husband, it's motivating me to do something.
