Question: Hi, I had an ectopic pregnancy, which was confirmed on 24th January 2014. I was treated with one shot of methotrexate on 5th February which was successful and confirmed back to zero / no longer pregnant on 28th February. My first sign of something being wrong was a stabbing pain in my right thigh, which was the side of the ectopic. Ever since I have had leg pain / discomfort and the doctors said this could be due to the free fluid that I had on my last scan which would take time to self absorb. However, it has been ongoing now for weeks, and I'm worried this could be something more. I am also due to fly on 29th March and I am a bit worried about this leg pain on the flight. The pain varies between my leg feeling numb, my calve feeling stretched and like it's going to burst and my thigh feeling bruised. Any advice you can give me would be really appreciated. Thanks, XXXXX

Thank you for your response - this is really appreciated. My leg does feel warm sometimes, but that's more so my thigh. When I compare both thighs it doesn't actually feel any warmer to touch than the other, but it gives off a sensation of feeling warmer if that makes sense. I was concerned that it could be a blood clot, but I do not have any redness and do check my leg daily in case I'm missing something. My thigh is more were it feels tenders, and at times it can feel bruised. When I get into bed it's my calf that feels like it may explode, but it doesn't look swollen, it's just a feeling I get. I also find at times that my foot feels like it's screwing itself up i.e. my toes are curling under, but they are not - it's just a sensation. I have also found that on occassions when I pass urine my stomach feels tender, but this is not everyday - seems to come and go. Some days on the right side where the ectopic was my stomach / pelvic area has sharp pains but they go very quickly and I may only have that twice a day on some days. When I asked the Doctor before they did think it could be all related to the free fluid. Does the above sound like that to you? I will try to get an appointment with my GP before I fly on Saturday, and I have also bought some flights socks to help when I do fly. Is there anything else that may be good to help reduce any increased leg pain on the flight? In the past I have suffered from mild sciatica and at times the pain that I have from my thigh to my foot does feel similar to this. I find that if I push with my hand into the top of my thigh just under my bottom then this gives the same feeling as sciatica. Really appreciate your help and guidance on this. Thanks XXXXX
