I was woken in the middle of the night by a very sharp stabbing pain in my right leg, just below the knee at the back. I jumped out of bed and after a couple of minutes the sharp pain subsided, leaving me with an ache that lasted 2 or 3 days. Where the pain was, I have a fading red mark. I have had DVT's in the past but not for at least 6 years and though I was on lifetime Warfarin, I took myself off it over a year ago. My previous DVT's progressed to PE's, but I know the pain I suffered the another night was worse than anything I have ever experienced. There is no and was no swelling around the area and I feel no pain now. Should I go and get it checked out at the Doctor? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
