Hi, im new to this group, just wondering if anybody can identify with a recurring 'pain' i have been having.... i dont like to go to my GP for little things, so thought i would ask here 1st.....
I have been getting for the past 4/5 weeks now, random sudden deep sharp pains in the side of my right calf...almost as though a hot poker has suddenly jabbed deep inside my leg, it can last for minutes at a time, or on and off for a few hours, although its not agony, it is rather painful and usually hot around the area. Has anyone had a similar pain, do you think it is something i should be concerned about, like the start of something nasty? Thanks D.x

Just had an interesting conversation with ChatGPT! It was kind of like talking kindly to myself. You should get the App. It's free.
It's hard for anyone here to say if you should be concerned. I mean, most of us had pain in our calf of some sort that was related to a dvt so we'd likely all say yeah get it checked out. It's hard for any of us to be objective about that.
I had pain in my calf for several weeks before my leg swelled and turned a purplish color.
I noticed calf pain a couple of weeks ago and went straight to see my Dr even though the pain wasn't really that bad. We'd just come home from vacation on long haul flight . My Dr phoned the hospital right away and I went straight there. Sure enough it was a DVT. So please go see you Dr. Hoping that you will be ok
