Swollen in just this leg..?

Question

I’m SO swollen!! Got home from work and took my sweats off to see THIS!!!!!! Just this one leg too.. the left side. Called my OB and they said it’s normal to swell and that they will see me in 2 weeks for my normal appointment but I’m ready to go to the ER. I’ve already been having pains in this leg and I told her and she said that’s fine too. Worried about a blood clot but I’m also a crazy hypochondriac and I know it so I never know when to trust my gut..???? 
What you guys think. Urgent care worthy or no.

Answer

Just my right ankle has been swelling. I was told its normal to swell in pregnancy and since I have hurt my right ankle a few times that could be the reason it's swelling and not the left.

Answer

If your dr isn’t worried then don’t worry

Answer

My right leg is always worse than my left with veins, swelling and pain. Try resting with your feet up and it should help.

Answer

I just woke up and the swelling is gone. Does this eliminate blood clot as an option? I’m so irritated with my OB just saying I’m fine and not taking my concerns seriously :(

Answer

Also an hypochondric and I would go to ER because otherwise your mind is not at ease. Try not to overworry because it might be normal.

Answer

My left leg swells like crazy. I had a blood clot in it prior to pregnancy (like 5 years ago). If you're worried, just watch for swelling and heat

Answer

Any abnormal swelling should be looked at. If something doesn’t feel right— I would try ob again, if not primary care or urgent care.

Answer

Go to an urgent care that has ultrasound. Call and make sure they have access to that before you go.

Answer

You should try propping your feet up and maybe applying ice or take a bath to see if the swelling goes down. My feet and ankles are always swollen after being on my feet at work all day but it usually goes down by the next morning if I rest properly. If it’s constantly like that and nothing helps the swelling go down I would call the doctor back

Answer

my husband just had a blood clot so I'd be worried.
