Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How Can Pain In My Leg And Soreness In The Muscle Be Managed?
Hey there. I have this pain in my leg and I noticed it when I got up from bed. It feels like how your arm feels after you take it out of a blood pressure machine. I’m not sure if it’s a blood clot or just a sore muscle. My family has a history of blood clots so I’m just worried
Your symptoms are not suggestive of a blood clot, as you are not having any swelling or changes in skin color. It could be tendinitis or arthritis. I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, uric acid plasma levels). In the meantime, I recommend taking ibuprofen for the pain and inflammation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
