Swelling In Leg. History Of Blood Clot In Lung. Pain In Groin. Information?
I had severe swelling in my left leg, to the point I could not get a shoe on my foot or bend the leg with out pain. I went to the doctor and he has ordered an Ultra sound . I previously had a blood clot in the lft lung and had a filter surgecially inserted. The Doctor said it could possibly be another clot or a break down of the filter that can not be replaced or removed. The swelling is now going down, however I still have the pain in my groin. Can you give me any information?
