Could It Be DVT If Having Pain In Leg When Walking, Standing After Refracturing It?

I have pain in my left lower leg when standing and walking. My leg feels as if it might give way. At night when resting my left toes go numb and when I pull my toes toward me the pain intensifies in my leg. I have been experiencing shortness of breath and had a stress test yesterday. I broke my left foot a year ago and refractured it about 6 months ago. Could I have a DVT?

Hi, your description does not sound like DVT. But, it would be better to see your Doctor and let him examine you. He would be in a better position to comment. The primary symptom of DVT is usually limb swelling and we can confirm it by doing a Doppler test of your lower limb veins. Take care and let me know if I can help you further.
