Blood clot?

by mama2bja, Sep 06, 2009 04:28AM
I just woke up around 4:30(it's now 5:06 A.M.) my feet were so tender to walk on.I haven't done anything out of the ordiary either.What can make them feel this way? Should I be worried? If I bend my toes the left foot in between my big toe & the toe beside it feels tender/strained like. I have had tender spots in my legs on my calfs.I have been having pain on my left side right under my breast bone.I told the doctor about the chest pain & he said chest wall pain & that I'm fine.I even went to emerg for this & got x-ray's on chest I have chest wall pain.I was concered so I asked for a blood test to determine if I have a bllod clot.But they wouldn't test me.What are your thoughts.

Hello Mama~I can certainly understand your concern, pains like this tend to worry us as we always fear heart related issues.
There are two things I would do. First, I would make an appointment to see a chiropractor. You have some of the same symptoms that I have had, and mine were due to misplaced vertebrae in my upper and lower back and hip, after a few good adjustments, most of this is cleared up. It is amazing how misplaced vertebrae can rest on nerves and cause these problems.
The other thing I would do is go to another doctor and demand the blood work. The test for blood clots is called D-Dimer and is very accurate, it does not tell where the clot is, but it does tell if you have one.
I hope this helps, please keep us posted as to how you are doing.
Susie
