Author Message   Drkside79 Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 12:44 pm:        SO I'm a bit of a worrier at time. Let me tell you that the internet doesn't help this. I have had some discomfort in my calf and some slight swelling at the ankle so i google it and all that keeps coming up is DVT. Also now that i am paranoid i notice every twinge and defect like the vein on my ankle is bulging more than the other..... FML So has anyone actually had this i need a real opinion and not my ridiculous mind telling me somethings wrong. Thanks!   Froggy Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 12:48 pm:        If you read enough medical stuff you will self diagnose yourself with terminal brain cancer. I recommend you get it checked out by someone who blew a decade in college to learn about it   Mtjm2 Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 02:20 pm:        Yea ! what Froggy said . Go get it checked out .   Blake Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 03:18 pm:        What is DVT?   86129squids Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 03:37 pm:        Self-medicate, apply tourniquet, apply sawzall, cauterize with torch, poof, done!   Drkside79 Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 03:54 pm:        Deep Vein Thrombosis (blood clot in leg)   Mtjm2 Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 04:07 pm:        Thats just wrong squids !   Britchri10 Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 04:11 pm:        If that is the solution I think I would try an aspirin regimen first....   Mtjm2 Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 04:22 pm:        ALL JOKING ASIDE !!! get your arse to the doc . One less BUELL rider is one to many   86129squids Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 04:45 pm:        Yeah, what he said- I'd get checked out... Good luck buddy!   86129squids Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 04:46 pm:        Brit is on the right track- I'd be taking a few aspirin as a precaution...   Azxb9r Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 05:05 pm:        Don't have a thrombo baby If you are worried about it, go see a doctor. Self diagnosis via the internet is generally not advisable.   Kenm123t Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 10:08 pm:        Get it checked my dad had one from changing the pool light clot came from a bruise and moved down his leg. I would go to the ER NOW it may be nothing or it could kill you dad had similar swelling then he drove over to my office in 25 mins his leg blew up like a balloon.   Sleez Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 10:28 pm:        my ex had what we thought was a "cramp" in her leg, put off going to the hosp for a couple hours, turned out she had a DVT and a piece broke off, traveled through a hole in her heart that no-one was aware of, and she had a major stroke in the ER, long story short, 13 days in the hospital, 2 of which were in the ICU, missed work for 6 mos or so, lost a toe, and still has some residual effects. when in doubt, see a doc!!
