is your calf swollen?

[tamirra]

Not that i am aware off, my calfs are quite big compared to my body size anyway x

I'd check - for thrombosis - or cellulitis

[tamirra]

Mmm maybe i should, im a little concerned cos of the amount of years ive been on hormone replacement

[lillylemon]

HRT can increase the risk of DVT 2 fold so I would just get it checked, alternativly, visit your local pharmacist who may be able to help
