Suggest Treatment For Sciatica Pain In Calf

Looks more of sciatica pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history in details.
To recapitulate: Female/57 - discomfort on the side of the calf/shin - goose egg on upper part of calf over the area of a known varicose vein - not discolored - icing helped for the swelling to go down - but the pain continues - throbbing to sharp - some pain in the calf too - down to foot - sciatica flare up - how concerned should you be about the clot.
Clot in the vein can not get reduced on icing, in fact the swelling will remain the same. There will be edema around and automatically of the whole lower limb.
Clot in the superficial veins is not known to occur.
Deep vein clotting is serious and the whole lower limb below the knee gets swollen up.
This pain looks more of sciatica flareup and the goose bump could have been due to urticaria, or just non-specific or a insect bite or so.
I hope this answers your your query.
Please feel free to ask further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
