Brief Answer:
Possible DVT
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
1)Do a clinical examination by your treating Doctor[Ortho] and to confirm do an [Ultrasound] and CT scan.
2)If confirmed then discuss with your Doctor for the prescription blood thinner and clot busters and Compression stockings if there is any swelling.
Do follow lifestyle modifications like this-
1) Try to avoid sitting still. If you've had surgery or have been on bed rest, try to get moving as soon as possible.
If you're sitting for a while, try not to cross your legs because this can limit blood flow.
If you're traveling a long distance by car, stop every hour or so and walk around.
2) Try to lose weight and quit smoking.
3) Make a plan for regular exercise.
