DVT ADVICE PLEASE Girls I play football and a few weeks ago I played a lot in a week. Since then I’ve been experiencing shooting leg pains in only my left leg. I haven’t really rested but the pain hasn’t gone. I have no symptoms of a hotter or more inflamed leg but should I be worried about it being a DVT or is it just a muscle injury? (The pain is sort of a sharp ache that shoots up the front of my shin and to the bottom of my thigh, it feels like muscle pain.)

Definitely worth getting it checked out x

@bluerose9 I have work all day tomorrow but I’ll call them Friday, thanks x

It sounds more like a strain but yes it’s worth getting it checked x

DVT can commonly be confused as a muscular injury. Coming from your explanation of symptoms I would assume muscle strain but still get checked and rule everything out to be safe ☺️

I’m a nurse, that definitely does not sound like a DVT

@Knm12 thank you x

@Mortie21 okay thanks x

Shin splints?

@Yarissa_ it was hahaha. I was just paranoid! I have insoles too and they were the main issue x
