Hello,
You have mentioned in history about red and swollen calf. For that, deep vein thrombosis should be ruled out. Color Doppler investigation is useful for that.
Check calcium level, sugar level as well. Mention your TSH value to check whether drug effectively working or not.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
