Sudden pain in lower leg
I woke up today with a strong pain in the bottom of my leg. I am on the contraceptive pill, so I am naturally worried about it possibly being DVT.
However, that is my only symptom, and I have not got any redness, swelling or warmth around the painful area.
Would you advise me to wait to observe the symptoms? Or go to a doctor?
Thank you!
