Worried It Might Be Dvt Posted: 08-29-05 10:40am
I am a 28 yr old female.I have been having
pain behind my left knee /upper calf that
has gotten worse over time.It aches a
little but mostly when I go to stand up my
knee hurts to straighten and walk.But
after a few steps it feels better .I
thought I had a swollen lymph node back
there b/c I have had a hard time with
nodes swelling on my left side and fever
of unknown origion for about a year
now.Back to why I thought it was a node is
I have a blue bump at the top of my calf
in the crook of my knee.I went to the
doctor and he looked at it and said it is
a very long hard cord like vericose vein
and is ending me to a vein specialist.My
worrie is I am going in for a pelvic
laparoscopy in a couple of days and I wont
be going to the vein spec. Until after
the proc..Could a vericose vein cause this
much pain and should I worry.(this leg is
always bent under my but when I sit thats
why I am worried.)
