It's hard to say. I know if my stockings aren't on just quite right around my foot, my foot actually hurts.

Every since my DVT, I have tingling in my thigh when I lay a certain way for too long. I don't know why or if it's even related but that leg has never felt completely normal. It's always something, like a charlie horse feeling, cramps, tingling, you name it. I mean, you circulation is compromised so to me, tingling is kind of normal, for me. So it could be just normal for you. But with that said, if it worsens or you start getting other symptoms that suggest a DVT, for sure get it checked out.

I think the advice you've gotten from everyone is right on.

I definitely had weird aches and pains come and go in my leg for about two years after diagnosis. Hard to tell what caused them and why they came and why they went. It just seemed to be part of recovery.

It probably has something to do with circulation, and hopefully its just a sign that you're moving further along the path of healing.

Also, I think most of us (and by "us" I mean mankind as a whole) get aches and pains from time to time that last for a few days and then disappear. Normally we don't really worry about them because they come and go so quickly. But, after an event like clotting, every little thing does seem a cause for concern. And, with good reason! Still, I'm quite a ways out from my last clotting event and I notice that some days I just have a weird pain happening somewhere. A few days later its gone and never comes back. I think its just part of being human ... but I still worry about it more than I would have ten years ago.

Agree with everyone else. If things get a lot worse or you suddenly get more symptoms, it'd be time to get checked out.

I am just 2 weeks out from my DVT and subsequent PE due to a cast on my leg. The day after I got out of the hospital, I had this exact same thing happen, and still being jittery from just being released, I called the advice nurse about it who patched me through to a doctor on call (it was a late Sat night). The doctor assured me that it wasn't anything to do with my clot and they called me the next morning to see how I was and the sensation was gone. I can't say one way or another if it had anything to do with my clot, but the symptom did go away without any further complications.

My stockings sometimes cause this for me. I usually have to adjust them, or just change positions.

I get the tingling every once in a while. When I complained about the feeling to my wife and my sister and sister-in-law, who are both nurses, they all said it is just in my head. I hope they are right. The tingling does not usually last long for me. But they are there and I know they are not just in my head. I did notice that the tingling mostly shows up about 2 days after I have not exercised (walking). So now, I use it to motivate myself to exercise. And I also tell myself, it must be the clots getting dissolved. Now that is definitely in my head!

No offense, but the fact that nurses would say tingling is all in your head despite the fact you had a DVT which may affect circulation is kind of strange. Poor circulation can cause tingling. I think that's fairly well documented and not sure why that wouldn't be apparent to them.

Bythe way, I didn't mean for that to sound as snarky as it did.

Their response may be similar to when my husband complains about something and my response is to roll my eyes, haha!

Seriously, it's not in your head.

Tingling or Paresthesia (as the doctors call it) can be a symptom of Post Thrombotic Sydrome. It is one of the symptoms my interventional radiologist always asks me when assessing the level of my PTS. It is one of the symptoms measures on the Villalta's PTS scoring system, currently the most widely used,one.

Strangely for me, the worst tingling I had was the 2 months right after my chronic clot that was a full occlusion was removed. Now I only get it if, I sit to much and a short brisk walk makes it go away. Definitely the tingling is not in your head.
