I guess the ER did its minimum job.. Told me I did not have a blood clot.. pretty much I'm not dying is what they told me and then said to follow up with a primary Care physician to see why my feet/legs/ankles are swelling.. They didn't even give me Tylenol for the pain while I was there for 4-5 hrs.. I could have just not gone but if I hadnt it probably would have been life threatening. 🙄 oh well I'm finally home which is nice. And I can finally eat!! I'm starving lol

Why did u think u had a blood clot?

Yea my mom was worried that I had one. I started swelling a week ago and its just gotten worse and worse. Since it was in my lower legs/feet/ankles she thought I might have one in my leg which the doctor thought so too until they ran tests. And because my dad had one so there is A history in my family for them.

Ask them to try and take fluid out. My aunts knee swelled up the other day and she couldn’t take the pain anymore. She went in after a couple of days & they told her it didn’t feel like there was fluid but she asked them if they could try it anyways and sure enough they pulled out 3 1/2 syringes of fluid out of her knee!! I’m glad you went to get it checked out but maybe try and get it checked by a specialist who knows about that area. Because the ER is full of it lol

Oh wow! And Lol yes they are! I think because I have a temporary insurance that doesn't cover much if anything at the ER, since my hubby recently switched jobs, that they didn't want to do anything for me.. Ya they said to follow up with my primary which I don't have because I haven't been sick or needed a primary doctor since we moved here a year ago.. So I guess I'll start finding a primary so that I can get this taken Care of or referred to a specialist.

@coffee_is_the_new_black it only hurts when I move a certain way or put pressure on the top of my feet but then it really hurts

Call and check with your endo, if I remember you have hypothyroidism? My mom has occasional swelling when she’s needed her meds adjusted or it simply acting up. If you don’t my bad, I remember one of y’all I follow has it 😅

Lol yes its me! I have hypo. And I thought of that but its never caused swelling like this before so it'd definitely be something new lol I've had graves disease(where it goes from hypo to hyper and back and forth) from 3rd grade to 8th-9th grade then it went into remission till I was 18 then came back as hypothyroidism.
