Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Your symptoms seem to deep vein thrombosis or inflammation.

I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some test:

- a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- kidney and liver function tests.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr.Iliri
