Leg Pain
I've been having leg pain for months now, seems to be getting worse. Finally went to the doctor and based on what I told him he thought it might be a blood clot. Went this past Thursday for an ultrasound on my arms, neck and legs, they tell me my doctor should have results by this coming Tuesday. I get home from an outing yesterday to a message on home phone saying this is the doctor's office saying its really. really, really important I call the doctor right away, well his office is closed til Monday, What kind of message is that to leave someone? Now i'm on edge til I find out tomorrow.

Contact whoever is covering for him, or an er doc. A blood clot is very dangerous. Explain the situation and ask what you should do. I had a clot in my leg, that became a pulmonary embolism. Very serious stuff. Best of luck.

You want to take it very easy until you know more, exercise can dislodge a clot and that could spell trouble.

Thanks for updating. Did he put you on any Coumadin? It's a blood thinner. Best of luck with everything.

Smokerman, just sending over some posi-vibes. Take it easy, low exertion and light toking.
You should read your doctor the riot act but don't stree over it right now. Health first. Your IC team is with you. DA

Went to the surgeon today, told me what I already knew 99% blockage in the femoral artery. He sent me for a blood test and is setting up a ct scan then surgery. He said the balloon won't work and that he will do a bypass. All this is starting to piss me off. I don't have the luxury of staying home, I have to work and I do a lot of physical work. The pain is very intense when I'm working. The sooner this is fixed the better.
