Re: blood circulation problem

at the very least you need to see your primary in order for him to evaluate the situation and make that decision as to who you should really be seeing.he may order an ultrasound on your legs to rule out a possible blood clot.the fact that this appeared to clear AFTER the aspirin would kind of lean towards a possible clot formation in one of the leg veins.or it could just have been a coincidence too.you really wont know just what is actually within those veins til they check it with the doppler tool on the ultrasound machine.they can check out how well the blood flow actually is this way,and also show any possible narrowing of the veins by calcifications or other possible issues.i had to have this done after having my second knee surgery just to rule it out becasue of problems i was having.it was not any type of a clot or narrowing that was causing my problem.but the US was able to at least rule that out.this would be my best advice to you for your situation right now,that US.it would just tell you alot.make an appt with your regular doc and he or she will take it from there.but this does need to be evaluated,soon.you just need to find out why this occured.if you have some level of clot or some other issue that is actually narrowing or closing off a vein,there are things that really need to be done soon.hopefully this isn't and overly serious problem and can be treated fairly simply.please let me know what you find out.

Re: blood circulation problem
