they will have to do an ultrasound on your leg to see if you have a clot or not
anyway... you need to get to the ER soon

You need to get a blood test and possibly an ultrasound.
If you've previously had a DVT, you may be at higher risk of developing one again - especially with your history.
Go get checked, better safe than sorry.

I would definitely seek a physician since you had this before you could have it in order to be sure you must go to a doctor to find out.

With your history I would have been at the doctors about 6 days ago. Why have you waited all week.......see a doc.
