Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a chronic DVT for 13 years and have an IVC filter. Over the last couple of days, I wake with horrific foot cramps and now my leg hurts so bad. It hasn t hurt like this before, it s behind my knee and the anterior thigh to my groin almost like a super sore muscle or joint, more swelling than usual...should I be too freaked out?
Without a proper physical examination it is difficult for me to come to a diagnosis. I would suggest you to get a color doppler done to know where the actual problem is. I would recommend you to consult with a doctor soon.
please revert back for further queries. Thank you
