Any Nurses/Docs Around? Advice please?

Since about 2:30 this afternoon I've been having this weird throbbing off and on pain in the back of my thigh like 6 inches or so from the back of my knee...and I have an achy feeling radiating around my knee area and that back part of my thigh....it's just really weird ...it hurts but not awful and I took 2 advil @3 and it seems to have done nothing....it's kinda freakin me out...yesterday all around my left shoulder blade and into the middle of my back hurts cause I must have pulled something so that still hurts a bit but that wouldn't be related right? Just curious to get your opinion and if I should take maybe 3 advil before going to bed instead of 2...or calling a doc? And to top it off I am super crampy with AF! UGH!

WWYD? Thanks!

Re: Any Nurses/Docs Around? Advice please?

  • Is the affected leg swollen, red, warm or painful to the touch?   If so, you need to be seen ASAP.  It might be possible you have a blood clot or a DVT.  If its not what I described above.. is it possible you turned, or stepped, or slept the wrong way in the last few days?  I would take another 3 of advil before bed and see how it feels in the morning.  Have you tried ice or heat?   GL!
  • No, none of those things you mentioned above....just achy and throbbing like....but a blood clot is what is worrying me...I know I walked real quick and hard on our hardwood floor towards Drake this afternoon while going to put him in TO (cause I was fuming lol), so I'm thinking maybe I strained/pulled it somehow that way....don't know what else it could be besides that or a clot...the little aches and pains freak me out!
  • does your health insurance offer a 24 hr nurse hotline?  i know mine does, you can call with symptoms, concerns, questions.  Maybe they can stir you in the right direction.
  • I'm now waiting for a call back from an on call doc at my PCP's office....it's making me so darn nervous.
  • good luck, let us know what they say!

    and hey look your boys are all in the 3's drake is 3years 3weeks and Jackson is 3 months!!

  • So they called me back last night and said if it wasn't swollen or red or I wasn't excruciating pain then I could wait it out till morning. Also that if I touched it and it didn't hurt then it most likely was not a clot. (basically everything Brianna's Mommy asked me)!

    So I took a hot bath and that seemed to help I think then went right to bed and I haven't felt it since...my calf muscle when walking on it today I can kinda feel a strain so I'm thinking maybe I just walked the wrong way somehow and tweaked/pulled something in there to have it lead into my knee and into the back of my thigh...I'm just glad it's gone! The littlest crap scares me! Thanks for being here girls =o)
