Trying To Quit Smoking. Having Pain And Cramps In Leg And Thigh. Should I Worry About Blood Clot In Leg?

I am a 34 year old female, I am a smoker trying to quit down to 5 a day! I have been having pain in my left leg for about 2 weeks now and today I am having bad cramps on the left side on the backside of my thigh and low pelvis area in the front. I also started my menstrual cycle yesterday. Do I need to be worried about a blood clot in my leg?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Nothing to worry about it, it is not because of the blood clot but could be due to the menses, during the menses all the blood gets more toward the uterine cavity and the leg area gets little low blood supply that might be causing low oxygen supply and this induces the pain, drink lot of water if possible drink soda water, it will be fine for sure and never think about the smoking this is not at all because you quit the smoking have nice day.
