What Causes Sharp Pain In Left Inner Thigh?
On Tuesday I had a sharp pain in my left inner thigh, most painful when I walked. I had traveled that day and sat in a car for 6 hours and in a meeting the rest of the day. That pain has since gone, but I now have excruciating pain in my left calf. It feels like it could burst (very full feeling). It s swollen but not red or hot that I can tell. Could a DVT occur without redness or it being hot?

Hello,
Such long journeys can precipitate DVT.In DVT there is swelling without redness.At present i shall advise you-
-To apply a compression bandage from below upward at your affected leg.
-Take an anti inflammatory preparation like aspirin.
-Consult to your doctor and get a DOPPLER investigation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
