I am somewhat of a hypochondriac but lately I've been getting weird pains in my left leg and I'm not sure what it means. It's like kind of a throbbing sharp-ish pain but really concentrated in one small spot, almost like a bruise. Except I keep feeling the same pain in different spots, like it's moving around my leg and it's really annoying and making me a bit nervous because I've heard of blood clots forming in people who don't exercise much.
It's summertime and I haven't been doing a whole lot, just kind of hanging around the house, sleeping in, watching TV. I'm not obese or anything, I just hate being outside.
But I'd really like to know what is causing these mysterious pains. I'm not sure about the likelihood of blood clots because I'm fairly healthy I guess, not a smoker and I don't have any circulation or heart problems but I do take birth control pills and I have family history of heart disease and diabetes and all kinds of crazy things.. any thoughts?
