What Causes Frequent Bowel Movement And Numbness In The Lower Leg?

I have a ST Jude Aortic Valve, 2008. Friday I flew from Dubai to Boston and then Cleveland. Slept 12 hours, woke Saturday with lower GI distress. Very little movement Sat, Sun, Mon with increased movement today. When I woke this AM lower right leg has been numb. This evening its sore, 5 on 10 pain, or less. I am on Warfrin. Concern could this be a DVT? Does this need addressed tonight?

if you are suspicious of DVT then I highly recommend you dont wait and get your leg dopplered to rule out a DVT. This issue needs to be addressed immediately given your medical history and recent journey
