Hello,
Your symptoms could be suggestive of a pinched nerve. As long as there is no change in the leg skin color (white or bluish), no swelling and no changes in temperature (too warm or too cold), there is no reason to panic about a blood clot. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing nerve conduction studies.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
