Are you there SQad?
You've helped me so many times before!
Yesterday my calf suddenly was Very painful. I could walk on it but it was really sore-as if I was about to get a severe cramp. This morning it felt a lot better but has now started again.
I am very overweight and DVT is a big worry for me as my mum had one in her leg.
Tue's no redness or swelling and it's not tender to touch. It's in back and side of calf. I'll go Dr tomorrow but in the meantime, should I rest it or move around!?

''There's"
Don't worry, almost certainly not a DVT.
Move around as much as it will allow and take Ibuprofen for the pain.
It will settle.
