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
