- Skin feels very very tight; like it's going to rip wide open any second. It also feels like a sunburn.
"Is your skin red also?"
- Affected foot has a pulse, but the two toes next to the big toe have black toenails; which is something new.
"This is telling you have a blood flow problem, and its not a short term issue, its been ongoing"
- Just now got home from work. My left leg is swollen up huge like a person with diabetes or a heart condition.
"You just might have a problem with your ticker!" This is no joking matter, its your life! Your having a problem with the longest vein in your body, the arterial vein, and you have a clot you say from a smaller vein that branches off, or into that vein, is that correct? You also know what may happen if that clot breaks free? Where does it go? Your heart. The swelling you are describing is going to make the skin die on your leg and ulcerate, if you think it hurts now, wait till it starts seeping fluid or bleeding and looks like fish scales.
Please, go to urgent care or ER instead of going to work tomorrow.
- Ibuprofen has become by best friend. I've taken 24 tablets so far today.
You have to make a better best friend, a Doctor. The best friend you have now isn't really fixing anything for you my friend, Go to the Doctor, you can't work anymore!
