I’m now a year (yes! It’s crazy for me to even believe) postpartum and I had a lot of issues with my left leg during pregnancy. I developed horrible varicose veins and then later in the pregnancy I also was diagnosed with multiple blood clots in that leg and was in so much pain I could barely walk at all. I had to wear medical compression stockings and things for me to limp around. Both of my legs tended to swell really bad, especially towards the end of pregnancy.

After giving birth my doctor told me my legs should return to normal mostly. And things were fine for awhile. I was walking a lot and didn’t have any leg pain. Just recently its come back and it’s the exact same pain I had before. I’ve started to limp again at random times throughout the day due to the pain. I don’t know what to do.

I’ve started taken aspirin daily to help with blood flow, i don’t wear heels, i alternate sitting and standing at work, and I’ve even lost about 30 pounds over this past year.

Should I go see my primary doctor?? Any ideas on what this could be? Same issue but why?
