Does a blood clot feel like a bruise and hot to touch on your outer theigh?

Answer 1

Hey there...are you having leg pain?

Well, I have suffered a DVT (deep venous thrombosis) in my leg, that eventually detached and traveled to my lungs, nearly taking my life.

Here are some symptoms of a DVT (deep clot in the leg)

Only about half of the people with deep vein thrombosis have symptoms. The symptoms may include:


Swelling of the leg

Pain or tenderness in the leg-the pain is usually in one leg and may only be present when standing or walking

Feeling of increased warmth in the area of the leg that is swollen or that hurts

Red or discolored skin.

My only symptom was cramping. It is usually on your inner thight, as that is where your major vein lies.

If you have any or all of these symptoms, it is extremely important that you get yourself to an ER. They can be life threatening, take it from me!

God Bless, and know you'll be in my prayers.

Answer 2

I wouldn't think so - if your skin feels hot to the touch in that area it is most likely an infection of some type, or a bug bite possibly

Answer 3

if you think you have a blood clot then get medical advice right away , if the clot was to move it could be fatal.
