I had some recent issues with swelling in my left calf for about the last 4-6 weeks. Docs ran blood tests and the numbers were off.
I had quite a few blood tests done in the past 18 months because of an odd reading, they recommended a consult with a hemotologist at that time. However, I was unable to make it work due to a relocation. They are still recommending I see a hemotologist but the earliest I can see them will be Sept. I still have swelling in my left calf (about 1/2 to 3/4 inch larger than right) and some throbbing from time to time.
The did a dimer (?) for blood clots which came back negative. After that it is "see a blood doc".
They also have me scheduled for a lower leg x-ray and abdominal ultrasound (don't know why).
If anyone is a blood doc and could make sense of some numbers I could use some insight before Sept as to whether I am on an express train to the golden gates or just an blood anomaly.
