Blood Clot in Quads

[Mack]

At first I was self diagnosing Piriformis Syndrome but now going in to week 2 I think I may have a blood clot in my vastus intermedius on my right quad.

anybody have any tips or suggestions?

have to massage it deep long and hard for any kind of relief

feels like I’ve been beaten with a baseball bat

I had one in my calve muscle about a year ago

See a doctor ASAP.
If it comes lose it can kill you.
I had 2, one went to my lung and became a pulmonary embolism.

do not massage it, you do not want it to come lose.

One of mine was in the back of my knee.
You could fee a very hard vein going down the leg.

You really need a doppler test to figure it out.
I would not mess around with this.
