Good luck and try not to worry. You could always just go to hospital and tell them you think you have a blood clot and don't want to wait. That might make them get you in sooner. |

It was really fascinating. They gooped me from the top of my thigh right down to the ankle, and ran the Doppler down what I presume was main artery (or vain, what is the difference Jason?). Then at intervals they made me contract my stomach muscles, then release, and when I released you could hear my blood whooshing. Wish they had let me see the screen Of course they wouldn't say anything, but will send the results to the Doctor. I'm not too concerned, I still think it's just muscle pain. (Hopefully that wasn't too much information |

Even when you are off your foot try to move it around and stretch your leg. This happens to people on long flights. When still too long the chance for a clot goes way up. You'll be fine.  |

Like you she was concerned about a blood clot and took her self to the emergency room and had them look at it. Turns out it was only a sever muscular thing. No blood clot. I know you can't help but worry but I am sure it's nothing serious.  |

I only wish it was possible to package up some strength and send it to you. Instead I will content myself with sending you my best wishes and prayers. |
