Hi,
Thanks for contacting with your health concern and since you have a history of pulmonary embolism thus it requires urgent emergency medical intervention by a medical specialist or a vascular surgeon to exclude thrombosis, who may check with relevant examination and investigation (s) to exclude any thromboembolic disorder.
If it comes out to be normal, he might refer you to seek an opinion of Orthopedic Surgeon to exclude sciatica, disc prolapse.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood,
