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 ve had a cramp in the back of my left leg for over 2 weeks. It seemed to start after I wore heels to an event for four hours. Now today, it is swollen. The cramping seems to happen after I sit for awhile and strait to walk. The cramping seems to be getting better. Should I be concern about a blood clot?

What Causes Cramps And Swelling In The Left Leg?
Hello, While cramps are common and mostly not serious. However, if there is generalised swelling in your leg, then it s important to rule out a blood clot. A blood clot is unlikely in an active person, but still, if the limb is swollen, it s best to check to rule out a blood clot. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Mahboob Ur Rahman , General & Family Physician
