What Causes Tingling And Itchiness In Leg While Suffering From Testicular Cancer?
I have been going through chemo for testicular cancer. I developed a blood clot on my right leg from groin to the knee. On Blood thinner injections Lovinox twice a day. My legs have a severe tingling, itchy, crawling sensation. What can be causing this ? Could it be the swelling going away or blood clot disapating?

Hello,
The tingling and itchy sensation is related to the changes in the skin due to swelling, or pinched nerves due to swelling and entrapment. You should try to be patient as this situation is going to improve after the restore of the blood flow in your legs and the reduce of the leg swelling. There is no reason to panic.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
