Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Passing blood in the stool may be due to hemorrhoid or fissure. But a clot in the limbs may be due to deep vein thrombosis or hypercoagulable states like factor V Leiden mutation, protein C and S deficiency, homocysteinemia etcetera.

Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your physician so that he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
