Having Clog Near Ankle And Feet Are Numb. Underlying Cause?
Question: I HAVE WHAT LOOKS LIKE A CLOG CLOSE TO MY ANKLE AND FEET ARE KNUMB
Dear patient
Thanks for your health concerns.
The symptoms are worrisome since they could represent an arterial or venous occlusion; these are probably the most important things to rule out.
I highly recommend you to be seen in urgent or emergent care by a provider who can perform a careful limb examination and determine if further testing such as ultrasound might be needed
Hooe this helps, wish you the best
