Hello, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you have got clots in calf veins . Its treatment is throbobhobe gel locally 3 times a day and low dose aspirin .You are taking aspirin. For pain relief analgesic such as diclofenac can be taken three times a day after meals. You need not to worry much about it , it will gradually resolve. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful.If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries
