Have Red Swelling On Back Of Thigh. Looks Like Blood Clot. Took Ibuprofen. Suggestions?
Large red swollen spot on the back of my thigh above the knee, this morning I have a second one next to it.
Believe it is a blood clot, Using ice has reduced the swelling, now have taken 400 mg of Ibuprophen.
Will watch for pain or further swelling then to doctor when it progresses. Staying active, standing or moving, avoiding the desk chair today.
