If it isn't one thing it is another....
I had been having leg cramps for 2 days. The cramps were really bad, bringing tears to my eyes. I called Dr. B to see what could be causing them. I guess Estrogen could cause blood clots. It is very rare but it does happen. I was having them in both legs. The nurse at Dr. B's said I needed to call my primary care Dr or go to the ER so I could get a doppler done on my legs. My Dr. got me in and checked my legs. They were swollen but he didn't see anythng that would be a blood clot. He did send me to the hospital so I could get the doppler done on my legs. The tech was super nice and the doppler felt really good on my legs. Turns out there was no blood clot (thank God!) If there was I would not be able to take the medicine they put the put you on. I would probablyhave to be on bed rest. The nurse at Dr. B's said to eat banana's and drink Gatorade or anything with elecetrolytes and the pain should go away. Friday night they were still hurting and Saturday they were better but still hurting a little. This morning they feel better. Iam trying to keep them up as much as I can to help with the swelling. The heat is not helping either. It is over a 100 here and we didnt think our AC was working but last night I was dying and Tim thought he would try the air again. And it is working!!! You have no idea how happy that made me feel! Now I can do things without breaking out in a sweat! Well that is all the news for now.
