Possible Venous thrombosis of leg? Need further assistance

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.

I can certainly understand your concern.

I have worked through your query in detail.

These symptoms possibly reflect an underlying venous thrombosis.

For this , I advise you to immediately get a Color Doppler Duplex ultrasound for further assistance

If a thrombosis is found, it might need an early lysis.

Further management if any is based on the test results.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
