Hello Dr. Grief, A few weeks ago I awoke in bed at 7AM with my right leg having pain in the back and below my right knee. Upon getting from bed I found it difficult to put any weight on the foot. I kept cold ice pack on it the first 24 hrs. then heat for the next 48. I have curtailed my daily activities no Jazzercise or walking a mile every other day since. I`ve made an appointment w/my physician for later this month..for a while I found it necessary to use a cane but now I just have a slight limp. I`m hoping not a blood clot and because it`s really not my knee, I`m thinking its not arthritis. I`m 77 yrs old and not at all medical. Should I be more concerned? THANK YOU Laura Ellen
