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.
Yes! Get it checked out. The first sign for him was a sudden intense pain that caused his leg to give out. He’s a barrel chested strong guy who can endure much pain. Happened right when he got up in the morning then a few more times with constant deep pain in between. He is self employed as a carpenter (plus coaches wrestling at local community college) so he can’t take time off.
I convinced him to go to a physical therapy/chiropractic clinic that uses a functional movement screening then active release treatment since he was adamant that it wasn’t a clot. They treated it as a muscular issue twice, then said go see the doc, what we are doing should be helping and it’s not. He of course worked all day then went to urgent care at night. Again, am humbly grateful that God protected him.
