Pain in lower leg ?

[Daxaero]

Hi, i felt strong pain last sunday while driving back from Germany to Bosnia. No physical activity was involved to be the source of "overactivity" or similiar. After three days i visited my doctor since pain didn't gone and my lower leg muscle was bigger for 3 cm in diameter than normal. I was affraid of thrombosis since i googled my symptoms. Doctor made a rengen test (doppler ) and said that my blood is circulating normaly through veins so he gave me Hepanthrombin gel, aspirin for blood thinner and some liquid. After few days everything dissapeared, leg muscle is in normal size and pain dissapeared almost completely. Is it possible that the source was driving (regulation of throttle pedal with feet instead of tempomate) or lack of walking activity ?

Lack of walking, yes. Possibly sitting on your wallet. Take your wallet out of your hip pocket. Get a good seat cushion. Lower your seat so your feet are flat on the floor and there is no pressure on the backs of your knees. Stand up and walk around for a few minutes about every two hours.

That's a nice info which i never thought about before. I sure did changed some habbits about physichal activity during driving rests

Whew! Glad it wasn't a clot. Agree with above! But keep an eye on it. If it reswells, recheck Doppler and have them run a test called a D-dimer to again check for blood clots.

Litlle update: After longer sitting or laying I feel small pain in lower leg muscle of right leg, but also I feel pain in upper but muscle in same leg. Similiar like last time but this time without hard pain, muscle growth or similiar. It stops once I start walking. What could be the source of it ?
