I've had a tender lump on my shin for a few weeks, at times my leg feels a little numb. I know I need to see a doctor above all but wondered if the hard lump was a typical symptom of blood clots? I am a 24 year old female on birth control, and I fear that I may be at high risk for blood clots.
When I had a blood clot in my leg , it was in the calf of my leg. I had a lot of pain when I would walk and as it got worse even when I was sitting. My leg also became warm to the touch,and I had a lot of swelling which they said was typical. So I cant answer your question ,but this was my experience.

i too have been bothered with dvt. it started in my calf and hurt when i walked. that was 3 years ago. the only way to tell for sure if you have a clot is to have a sonogram done. besides taking counadine everyday, i also inject myself with lovenox everyday. so for gods' sake see a doc and have it checked. clots and dvt are nothing to fool around with. good luck...
Hi, I had pain in my calf in my right leg and infections of my lungs for weeks till I couldn't breathing problems and had to go to the ER for care and found out I had D.V.T. and P.E. in my lungs. My doctors doesn't know why I'm still here today because I had 7 blood clots. Three large clots in the lungs and one in the main vein going to the brain and the rest in my right leg. I have no family history of DVT's or never had any surgerys and broken bones. My heart was twice the size of a normal heart because the clots in the lungs was keeping blood back from going into the lungs. I'm on counadine everyday and have taken lovenox shots for two weeks twice a day. My blood is 3.0 thin. My question will I have to be on these pills and have a blood test every month for the rest of my life? I wouldn't mind doing the pills but the testing is real costly. My doctor charges 80.00 a test.
Thanks, John.
