I had my boots on for roughly 12 hours the other day. When I took them off, my upper part of both calves were swollen. The swollen went down in 2 days or so, but now I notice I have a red spot, and it s sore to the touch, also it feels hard. Is it a possible DVT?
HI. Thanks for the query. Deep Vein Thrombosis is a condition more commonly seen in immobile patients due to stasis of blood. What I understand from your question is you must have had the swelling due to impaired venous circulation due to the boots. The sore you have noticed might be a superficial hematoma which will gradually disappear. In the swelling recurs and persists, its better you consult a doctor and get it checked. Hope I have answered your question
